Britons have been made aware of several food products that could be unsafe for people with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
TJX Europe has issued a recall of Sultans Turkish Delights products due to the presence of undeclared milk in the ingredients.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “The products contain milk making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
TJX Europe said: “If you purchased the product and are allergic to milk, please stop using it immediately.”

Allergy alerts are serious and the FSA alerts Britons on food products that should not be sold if they contain allergic risks.
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“Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.”
