A bakery product from Aldi has been recalled due to it posing a potential health risk to customers.

The part-baked 6 pack custard tarts product was recalled by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Saturday evening.

The product contains egg, milk and wheat (gluten), as well as hazelnuts, sesame and soya - food allergens which are not declared on the label.

The FSA said: "This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to egg, and/or an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, and/or an allergy to nuts and/or an allergy to sesame and/or an allergy to soya, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or for anyone with coeliac disease."

The FSA added: “Aldi is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

“The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

"If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance listed above do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For further information, please visit help.aldi.co.uk or contact 0800 042 0800."
