Ice cream sold in UK supermarkets urgently recalled as temperatures soar

Magnum White Chocolate ice cream tubs have been recalled by Unilever.

The recall has been posted on the Food Standards Agency website ahead of the bank holiday weekend.

A statement on the website reads: "Unilever UK Ltd is recalling two batches of Magnum White Chocolate ice cream tubs because they contain milk, which is not written in English on the label.

"This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents."

Supermarket Tesco issued the urgent product recall on social media today.

Posting on Twitter, Tesco wrote: "As a safety precaution, Magnum are recalling certain batches of Magnum White ice cream (440ml).

"This is due to the potential undeclared presence of milk. This is a national recall and other retailers are affected."

According to Birmingham Live, Asda has also issued a recall on the popular tub of ice cream.

Unilever also owns the likes of Hellmanns, and is recalling the popular Magnum ice creams because they contain ingredients that are not declared and which could cause "a possible health risk."
