Asda, M&S, Tesco and Aldi are among the UK supermarkets with 'do not eat' warnings in place on some of their products.
Food recalls have been issued at these leading supermarkets for a variety of reasons, including an outbreak of disease causing bacteria as well as undeclared ingredients which are making products a health risk.
We have rounded up the ongoing product recalls you should be aware of.
If you have bought any of the items mentioned below, you need to be aware of these possible health risks.
M&S recall
Marks & Spencer has issued a recall and "do not eat" warning after a popular own-brand product was found to pose an allergy risk to some customers.
The warning affects some of the supermarket's M&S Belgian Dark Chocolate, which has been found to contain milk despite it not being labelled on the packaging.
This means the product is a possible health risk to those with an allergy or an intolerance to milk and milk constituents.
