An alert has been issued to Lidl shoppers in Ireland over a popular ham product that could be unsafe for some consumers.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has issued an advisory about certain batches of Lidl's Glensallagh Glazed and Grilled American Style Cajun Shaved Ham.
It warns that gluten has been detected in four batches, but it is not declared on the label, meaning it could be "unsafe" for some consumers.

Lidl shoppers who are allergic to or intolerant of cereals containing gluten are being encouraged to check their fridges for the affected product.
In a statement, the FSAI said: "Batches of Glensallagh Glazed and Grilled American Style Cajun Shaved Ham are being recalled due to the presence of gluten, which is not declared on the label.

Separately, Centra is recalling batches of King Prawns due to mislabelling.
Batches of King Prawns have been affected due to an error that saw a number of packets marked with a much farther off use-by date.
This particular product is labelled as ‘Centra King Prawns (Cooked & Peeled),’ and are in a pack size of 180g.
The use-by dates stated on the labels are 16/07/2022 and 22/07/2022, however, the correct use-by dates are 16/06/2022 and 22/06/2022.
Point of sale recall notices have been placed in all affected stores and customers will receive a full refund when returning the product.
A statement released by the FSAI confirmed: “The above batches of Centra King Prawns are being recalled as they have been mislabelled with incorrect use-by dates.
“The use-by dates stated on the labels are 16/07/2022 and 22/07/2022, however, the correct use-by dates are 16/06/2022 and 22/06/2022.
“Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in Centra stores supplied with the implicated batches.”
