Tesco and Aldi cereal recall 2023: List of products and all you need to know 

Two popular supermarkets in Britain, Tesco and Aldi, are recalling specific brands of cereals and protein bars over undeclared allergens concerns. Consumption of the affected cereals and protein bars could pose a risk of allergic reactions and other similar health concerns.

Announced on April 11, the recall has affected Free From Bran Flakes cereals from Tesco and Harvest Morn High Protein Bars from Aldi. As per Tesco, the Free From Bran Flakes cereal may contain another cereal--Chocolate Pillows--which features hazelnuts and milk, two of the most common allergens. Meanwhile, Aldi's protein bar packets may not have emphasized allergens like milk, peanuts, and soya in bold on the packaging, which has led to its recall.

As of now, neither the two supermarkets nor the British health agencies have shared reports of any incidents of fatalities in regards to the consumption of the recalled products. Products that can trigger allergic reactions in people with milk, nuts, and soya allergies could lead them to experience symptoms such as tingling in the mouth, abdominal pain, lightheadedness, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and fainting.

People with high sensitivity towards the three allergens could also be at risk of experiencing life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis attacks, which require immediate medical attention. Patients who experience any of the aforementioned symptoms following mistaken consumption of the recalled products are advised to consult a doctor or visit a medical care center at the earliest.
