'Do not eat' warning as Biscoff-flavoured ice cream recalled over allergy fears
A 'do not eat' warning has been issued for two popular flavours of ice cream because of "undeclared hazelnuts".
Cheshire Farm is recalling Caramelized Biscuit Ice Cream and Biscoff Ice Cream because they contain hazelnuts which are not mentioned on the label.
This means the products are a "possible health risk" for anyone with an allergy to nuts, reports the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The FSA explained: 'If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
'The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
'In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.'
