Over the past week, several food items have been recalled with shoppers urgently warned not to consume them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a couple of food and allergy alerts for items including chicken burgers, crisps and other snacks that could potentially pose a health risk if they’re eaten. 

Some of these contain allergens which aren’t mentioned on the packaging, and another is dangerous because it may contain pieces of foil. If you’ve bought any of these items, it’s recommended that you don’t eat them. Instead, you can return them to their point of purchase for a full refund instead.
