Iceland is recalling its Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls, after it was discovered they may contain barley – a potential allergen – that isn't listed on the label.
The recall affects four-packs with a best-before date of 2 June 2025.
And the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned the product could be dangerous for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to barley, which contains gluten.
Shoppers are being urged not to eat the rolls and return them to any Iceland store, where they'll receive a full refund – no receipt needed.
Point-of-sale notices are being displayed in all Iceland stores to alert customers about the recall.
It comes as Haribo has recalled packets of sweets in the Netherlands found to contain cannabis.
It was reportedly discovered when a family fell ill after eating Happy Cola F!ZZ and contacted the police.
An investigation into the alleged incident has now been launched, according to a spokesperson for the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).
The authority confirmed that "samples were taken and cannabis was found in them".
"We immediately contacted Haribo and they issued a safety warning," a spokesperson said.

Elderly patient's drinking water infested with ants during stay at Scots hospital
ANT SHOCK Elderly patient's drinking water infested with ants during stay at Scots hospital A HOSPITAL has been slammed after horrified loved ones spotted ants crawling in an elderly patient's drinking water. And they reckon the Parkinson's disease sufferer, 78, may have been left sipping insect-infested liquid for days.

Credit Steve Welsh Credit: Steve Welsh The OAP's son, Alastair Tarbett, 44, shared shocking photos and videos with The Scottish Sun of the sickening scenes at Stratheden Hospital, in Cupar, Fife. He told how his dad, who we're not naming, had been admitted to the community unit for assessment. Alastair, of nearby Balmullo, said: 'When we visited, ants were crawling round the rim of his glass. It was disgusting. 'When I went there on another day, I saw three or four ants inside his plastic cup. Then I opened his sealed water bottle — and there were ants in there too. Advertisement 'My poor dad had been drinking from that bottle for two days, sucking up ants through his straw.' Alastair raised the alarm with staff on the hospital's Muirview Ward, who admitted the infestation was 'deplorable'. But he said he was still stamping on ants during visits two weeks later. He added: 'As soon as ants are crawling around patients' food and drink, a team should be out dealing with it immediately. It's just not good enough.' Advertisement An NHS Fife spokesman said: 'We apologise for any concern caused. Immediate action was taken to address the presence of ants. 'This issue affected only part of Muirview Ward and is likely linked to building works in the area.'

Three-drug treatment combo ‘holds back aggressive breast cancer for a year'
The treatment could benefit thousands of British women Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW triple threat drug combination could hold aggressive breast cancer at bay for an extra year, a trial found. Adding the medicine inavolisib to an already used pair of drugs delayed the need for chemotherapy by almost two years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Breast cancer gets harder to treat as cells become resistant to drugs (stock image) Credit: Getty It prevented tumours from growing for an average of 17 months, compared to seven months in patients using the standard drug pairing palbociclib and fulvestrant. An estimated 1,000 British women per year could benefit. The combo works for women with a specific breast cancer type called HR+ HER2- with a PIK3CA mutation, which accounts for about three in 10 cases. Professor Kristian Helin, chief of The Institute of Cancer Research in London, said: 'We need to tackle treatment resistance head-on to continue improving survival rates. 'This triple combination approach effectively shuts down cancer's escape routes, giving people with metastatic breast cancer the opportunity to live well for longer.' The trial included 325 patients with aggressive and advanced breast cancer from 28 countries. Cancers shrank in two thirds of people receiving the triple drug combination, compared to 28 per cent of those on standard treatment. New go-to option for docs Study author Professor Nicholas Turner, of the Royal Marsden NHS hospital in London, said: 'This therapy not only helped patients live longer but it more than doubled the time before their cancer progressed or worsened. 'It also gave them more time before needing chemotherapy which is something that patients really fear and want to delay for as long as possible.' 'These results give us confidence that this treatment could become the new go-to option.' The study was presented at the conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

The common BBQ mistake putting you at risk of TAPEWORMS – and 4 other ‘dangerous' slip ups to avoid
Read on to also find out how another common BBQ faux pas has been linked to Alzheimer's, cancer and even cardiovascular problems HOT TOPIC The common BBQ mistake putting you at risk of TAPEWORMS – and 4 other 'dangerous' slip ups to avoid Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH the sun shining and summer on our doorstep, it's time to fire up your BBQ (if you haven't already). But while a bit of al fresco dining is to be welcomed, the potential nasties lurking between the juicy burgers, sharing salads and cold beers, less so. 6 To avoid a nasty bout of illness keeping you close to the toilet - be aware of these common BBQ slip-ups Credit: Getty It turns out a spot of food poisoning could be the least of your worries. Chances are you've heard of salmonella, listeria and but did you know that food poisoning can be fatal? And what about the risk of tapeworms - yes, you read right! There are 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness annually in the UK, according to the Food Standards Agency. Food poisoning, a type of foodborne disease caused by eating food containing toxins, causes 100,000 cases of illness each year. But infections spike in the summer - 'a potential consequence of unsafe BBQ food', the agency warns. To avoid a nasty bout of illness keeping you close to the toilet - or worse, a whole group of friends and relatives sick - be aware of these common BBQ slip-ups. MISTAKE #1: BEST OF CLUCK 6 Undercooked food can lead to nasty stomach bugs with symptoms such as diarrhoea and cramps Credit: Getty IT'S the classic BBQ faux pas - undercooked chicken. Even if you've got a garden full of hungry bellies, it's best to let it cook longer, to make sure it's properly cooked. Eating undercooked or raw chicken can lead to potentially deadly salmonella or campylobacter infections, which manifest as nasty stomach bugs with symptoms such as diarrhoea, cramps and vomiting, according to registered nutritional therapist, Lucia Stansbie. How to tell if you have food poisoning 'These can require medical attention and antibiotic prescriptions,' she tells Sun on Sunday Health. Sharing her tips to avoid disaster, Lucia points out that meat on the bone takes longer to cook and is harder to cook evenly - raising the risk of bacteria thriving. Opt for thin-cut slices of meat rather than massive chunks, and she also suggests a quick blast in the oven before finishing off on the grill. Check there's no pink meat, and look for clear juices when cutting into it to reduce your risk. 'A 'pro' way of checking if chicken is cooked is to use a meat thermometer, aiming for 75 degrees Celsius in the thickest part of the cut meat,' she adds. MISTAKE #2: HOT TOPIC WHILE it seems obvious, it's so easily done. How often have you enjoyed an afternoon grazing the fruits of your BBQ labours, picking at sausages, dips and salads to your heart's content? 6 Leaving food out in the sun speeds up the fermentation process and bacterial overgrowth Credit: Getty We're all guilty, but in warm weather, you must avoid leaving food out in the sun, Lucia warns. 'This can speed up fermentation and bacterial overgrowth,' she says. 'This is especially true for sauces made with raw egg, which can carry salmonella.' Salmonella can cause diarrhoea, tummy pain and even fever. Lucia adds: 'Soft cheeses such as brie can carry listeria, which can spread rapidly if the cheese has been left in the sun and heat.' Most listeriosis infections come from eating chilled, ready-to-eat foods, such as pâté, pre-cut packed fruit and cold, cooked sliced meats and cured meats. The NHS says ready-to-eat foods should be consumed within four hours of taking them out of the fridge. Listeria usually only causes mild symptoms such as a high temperature, diarrhoea and nausea. However, anyone with a weakened immune system could experience far worse symptoms. They - and pregnant women - are told to avoid listeria-risk foods. THE FIVE RULES TO ALWAYS STAY SAFE THE Food Standards Agency's top five easy tips for staying safe when cooking on the barbie 1. COME CLEAN Wash your hands thoroughly before cooking and eating. Wash your utensils and serving dishes in between use, taking special care not to mix up dishes used for holding raw food with dishes for cooked food. 2. KEEP YOUR COOL Defrost your food in the fridge, NOT at room temperature, and ensure it is fully defrosted before cooking. When storing cooked food, cool it at room temperature before putting it in the fridge, but make sure you get it in the fridge within 2 hours. 3. FEEL THE HEAT Cook food at the right temperature and for the correct length of time to ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed. Turn meat regularly and move it around the barbecue to cook it evenly. 4. MARINADE MINDFULLY When applying a marinade to meat, be careful. Don't baste partially and cooked meat with a marinade that has been used on raw meat, as this can lead to cross-contamination. If you would like to apply the marinade again as a baste – boil it in a pan, and it will be safe to use. 5. CHECK IT'S DONE Always check that meat juices run clear and that no pink meat is visible when cutting through the thickest part. Remember, charred on the outside doesn't always mean cooked on the inside! MISTAKE #3: RARE THREAT A JUICY rare steak might be your go-to, but it's wise to be wary during BBQ season. Milena Mastroianni, a registered nutritional therapist, tells Sun on Sunday Health: 'There is always a low risk of raw food being contaminated with tapeworm larvae, especially beef as well as fish such as salmon and trout. 'If this gets into your body, it can cause problems such as diarrhoea and other gut-related issues, weight loss, hunger pains and even cravings for salty food.' 6 There's always a risk raw foods could be contaminated with tapeworm larvae Credit: Getty Lucia says that medium-rare steak is less problematic, as long as the outside is well seared, 'as most bacteria live on the meat surface'. But if you are cooking minced meat products, like burgers, you must cook them all the way through. 'The surface bacteria like or listeria can get mixed all the way through when mincing the meat,' says Lucia. 'People with a weakened immune system, pregnant women, young children and the elderly should pay attention and avoid medium-rare beef steak and always go for fully cooked meat.' MISTAKE #4: TAKE A LEAF 6 You must always wash your salad leaves - there's always a risk of contamination from listeria Credit: iStock - Getty IF you don't want guests heading home with a bout of food poisoning in their party bag, always make sure to wash your salad leaves. Melina says: 'Bagged salads can pose the risk of contamination from listeria, but also salmonella and due to the moist environment and the pre-cut leaves.' A study by the University of Leicester found that just a small amount of damaged leaves in a bagged salad can 'stimulate the presence of the food poisoning bug, salmonella'. 'It's always a good idea to wash salad leaves using a salad spinner, even if the bag says 'pre-washed',' says Melina. 'Discard leaves that are slimy or wilting and store the salad at the back of the fridge as it is the coldest part and will keep it fresher for longer.' MISTAKE #5: BURN BBQ, BURN BURNT food is part and parcel of a BBQ - who doesn't love a crispy sausage or charred bit of veg? But Milena warns: 'In general, cooking meat on a high temperature can increase the amount of antioxidants and harmful AGEs (advanced glycation endproducts) that are present in food.' 6 Overly charred foods increase the amount of AGEs which has been linked to Alzheimer's and cancer Credit: Getty - Contributor A review of the evidence published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine has linked high levels of AGEs to a number of health issues from Alzheimer's disease to cancer and even cardiovascular problems. A couple of sausages isn't going to do you any harm, but regularly eating burned or charred food might put your body through too much oxidative stress. This is when the balance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body tips, leading to potential damage to cells, proteins, and DNA. Milena recommends pairing BBQ meat with plenty of antioxidant-rich fresh foods such as vegetables and colourful, well-washed, salads. 'Marinating meat is always a good idea, as it reduces the formation of harmful AGEs when grilling, while tenderising and adding flavour and moisture to any meat,' she adds.
