The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has recalled popular jelly sweets over 'additives' that can cause choking if consumed.
The Class 1 recall, issued by the regulatory body relating to 'food safety' is for various jelly sweets imported from China that are being recalled as they may cause a choking risk due to the presence of certain "unauthorised gel-forming additives."
Warnings have been displayed by shopowners who may have sold any of the the products, at the point-of-sale.
