Lidl issues warning to mums as it recalls batch of mouldy baby food

Lidl has issued an urgent safety warning to millions of families across Britain about mouldy baby food.

The grocer is pulling 10 different flavours from its Lupilu organic baby food range over fears the products could contain mould and be unsafe to eat.

Shoppers who've bought one of the affected products are being urged not to give them to their baby.

The Food Standards Agency warned "The possible presence of mould makes the products unsafe to eat.

"If you have bought any of the above products do not eat it.

"Any customers with queries or concerns can contact Customer Services on 0370 444 1234."

If you have any of these pouches, you can return it to your nearest Lidl store for a full refund.
