The boxes containing five 25g bars are not in English and do not warn shoppers they contain soya, milk and wheat which may pose a risk to allergy sufferers.

The food watchdog warned people not to eat the bars but return them for a full refund.

The boxes with the best before dates 9 July 2016 and 14 July 2016 are sold by Hull-based Heron Foods.

No other Kellogg’s products are known to be affected.
