Aldi has been forced to recall one of its pasta products after the packaging failed to mention an ingredient which could pose a health risk to some customers.
The supermarket giant and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an alert to customers on Sunday (February 18) warning them of the product which contains mustard not mentioned on the label.
This product recall is the second issued in a number of months with another still in place due to risk of broken glass.
