Discount supermarket chain Aldi has urged customers to check before consuming its range of Harvest Morn High Protein Bars because they contain allergens which are not highlighted on the label.

The products contain milk and/or peanuts, and/or soya, which are not emphasised on the packaging.

This means that people with intolerances or allergies could be at risk if consuming the product.

In a warning to customers, Aldi said: "As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling Harvest Morn High Protein Bars because allergens in the ingredient list may not be emphasised in bold on the label.

"Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given."
