A number of food recalls have been made for products sold in supermarkets.
Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl and Co-op have all issued warning over items sold in their stores.
They include yogurt, cake, meatballs and cereal.
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The Food Standards Agency issues 'Product Withdrawal Information Notices' and 'Product Recall Information Notices' to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
We've rounded up the product recalls from this week.
