Tesco has issued a warning after a health risk was discovered in a batch of own-brand cereal.

The Food Standards Agency has alerted customers of the product recall, urging people affected to return the item for a full refund.

The supermarket giant has recalled Tesco Free From Bran Flakes because some packs may contain a small amount of another cereal variant (chocolate pillows).

Chocolate pillows contain milk and hazelnut (nuts), which are not mentioned on the label.

This makes them a risk to people with allergies to milk or nuts.

The company apologised to customers for the mix-up, adding: "Please do not consume this product if you have an allergy.

"Return the affected product to a store. No receipt is required."
