Earlier this month, Aldi UK recalled another food item, Harvest Morn High Protein Bars, because they contain milk, peanuts, and/or soy, which may not be highlighted in bold font on the label. Those with allergies or intolerances to milk, peanuts, or soy may have health risks from these products. Consumers who have bought any of the above products and are allergic to milk or milk constituents, peanut allergy, or soy allergy were advised not to eat them. To receive a full refund, they must return them to the store where they were purchased.
