Supermarket recalls batch of Choceur Treasures

Discount supermarket Aldi has recalled packs of its chocolate after Salmonella was found in one batch.

Salmonella was detected in a batch of Choceur Treasures, described as whole hazelnut wrapped in waffle and milk chocolate.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a product recall information notice for 200g packs of the chocolate with the best before date September 1, 2015.

FSA says the product was for sale in the Midlands region only and no other Choceur or Aldi products are known to be affected.

Recall notices are on display in the affected Aldi stores to explain to customers why the product has been recalled and how to get a refund.

Consumers who have bought the product are advised not to eat it, but return it to the nearest Aldi store.

Salmonella bacteria can affect meat, eggs, poultry and milk. Symptoms of infection include diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
