Top in Town Foods is recalling various Mayil products due to incorrect allergen labelling.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) explained that "ingredients lists do not correctly identify crustaceans, fish, mustard or sesame as allergens".
The FSA said: "This means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans, fish, mustard or sesame."
Those who have purchased the products have been advised not to eat them. Instead, they should return them to the store where they bought them.

"These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
"If you have bought the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store where you bought them."
Top in Town Foods' official notices explained that the products - sold across Asian shops in Ireland and Northern Ireland - have been recalled due to incorrect allergen labelling requirements.
Top in Town Foods said: "The allergen information is not in bold, and allergens are not identified correctly in line with EU 1169/2011."
All batch codes and all expiry dates are affected by the recall.

The FSA said: "Sometimes there will be 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"Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
"Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
"When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert."
