British food shoppers have been advised to carefully inspect their kitchen cupboards due to multiple urgent recalls affecting various popular products and sweet treats sold at leading supermarkets, including Aldi, Home Bargains, and Lidl, reports the Express.

Notably, one product poses a health risk due to the absence of allergen information in English.
Here is the full list of recalled products issued this week.
