Shoppers have been warned of a product recall, as an item may contain pieces of metal making them “unsafe to eat”.

Lidl has recalled various packets of cookies over the concerns. Anyone who has them in their cupboards is urged to return them to stores for a full refund. The recall notice reads: “These products may contain pieces of metal which makes them unsafe to eat. Lidl is recalling the above products.

“Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.

“If you have bought the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. Any customers with queries or concerns can contact Lidl Customer Services on 0203 966 5566 or [email protected] for GB or 0289 568 4888 for NI.”

Earlier this month an urgent product recall notice was issued for a nut butter as it could cause dangerous allergic reactions. Jars of Biona's organic have been recalled because they have been mislabelled and may contain other nuts not mentioned in the ingredients list.

The cashew butter, sold at Ocado - Whole Foods, and - should only contain cashew nuts. However, the brand's mixed nut butter - made from hazelnuts, almonds and peanuts - had been packaged instead.

If someone had an allergy to one of these nuts and ate the product there could be serious consequences. Nut allergy symptoms include skin reactions, such as hives, redness or swelling, digestive problems, such as diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea or vomiting, along with tightening of the throat, and shortness of breath. In some cases, nut allergies can cause anaphylaxis which can kill if not treated urgently.
