A number of leading supermarkets have been forced to recall these products due to them potentially being unsafe.
Lidl, Sainsbury’s and Iceland are just some of the places that have issued recalls with the Food Standards Agency – and you should check if you have these items.
Some of items include Twix Ice Cream Bars, sweeteners and even rice that companies are telling people to return straight away.
Anyone who has any of these items are being told to return them immediately so they can get a full refund so you should check your cupboards.
Thanks to KentLive, here’s a list of the items that you need to be aware about if you have bought any lately.
