A food recall has been shared by discount supermarket chain Aldi.

Anyone who has shopped in stores and has an allergy might be affected.


The meal kit comes with the meat, vegetables and seasonings to make a stir fry at home.

The set has been recalled as it included wheat not mentioned on the label.
