Britons have been warned snacks could cause potential health risks

A number of snacks have been recalled as they could be "unsafe to eat".

This is because of foreign bodies in the products and undeclared ingredients.

The product has been branded "unsafe to eat" and the warning is specific to snacks sold in England.

A milk allergy can cause severe symptoms including hives, vomiting and anaphylaxis — a life-threatening reaction.

This comes as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and more issue food and product recalls over customer safety risk.
