A number of leading Irish shops have urged customers to check their cupboards - after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued a number of recall notices for products.
Food alerts are issued by the FSAI when there is found to be a possible risk to consumers with food allergies, food intolerances or other dangers from a particular food or batch of food.
The Food Standards Agency UK also issue food allergen alerts associated with food placed on the UK market which could affect Irish products.
