ARCHIVED ARTICLE

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected batches in Spain have been warned not to eat them

The Ministry of Consumption has ordered the recall of batches of certain brands of ice-cream for sale in Lidl, Aldi and Mercadona because of the presence of “foreign bodies.” The contamination was first discovered in Catalonia and supermarkets across Spain have begun removing the products from their shelves.

What should I do if I have one of the compromised ice-creams?

The experts have pointed out that only certain batches of the four ice-lolly brands are affected, so consumers should check the packaging carefully as many of the products are perfectly fine to eat.

However, the Aesan website says that: "It is recommended that people who have products affected by this alert, refrain from consuming them and return them to the point of purchase."
