Urgent 'do not eat' warning for popular children's ice lollies over deadly risk
Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla Strawberry & Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies - which come in a pack of 10 - have been pulled from supermarket shelves as the Food Standards Agency shared a 'do not eat' warning Popular children's ice creams are being withdrawn from sale and recalled, and parents are being warned to not let their children eat them, after a labelling mistake which could have deadly results. Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla Strawberry & Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies - which come in a pack of 10 - contain milk, soya, pistachios and peanuts, all potentially serious allergens and have not been declared on the label. A vital DO NOT EAT warning has been issued by the Food Standards Agency as the product recall is now in full swing, as many turn to their freezers for frozen treats in a bid to beat the sweltering heat gripping much of the country. In an Allergy Alert statement the FSA said: "Unilever UK recalls Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla Strawberry & Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies because they contain milk and may contain nuts (pistachios), peanuts and soya which are not mentioned in English on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to nuts (pistachios) and/or an allergy to peanuts and/or soya." The warning relates to items with the batch codes L5123, L5126, L5127, L5128, L5129, L5141 and L5142 and the best before date of May 2027. The FSA added: "Unilever is recalling the above product and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations. "Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to nuts (pistachios) and/or an allergy to peanuts and/or soya, do not eat it. For further information and a refund, please contact the Unilever careline team at ukicare@ For those with allergies, even exposure to a small amount can cause potentialyl fatal anaphylaxis - a reaction which can cause difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, swelling of the throat and loss of conciousness. Unilever has said it was removing the product from sale and has contacted allergy support organisations to help raise awareness. Allergy campaigners have long warned that inconsistent or unclear food labelling puts vulnerable people at risk—particularly when labels are printed in foreign languages or without required allergen declarations. The popular frozen children's treats have been recalled as temperatures in the UK are set to soar, meaning many will be turning to the freezer in the hopes of something to cool down. Warnings for extreme heat are in place across much of England as temperatures are set to reach 35C in one of the hottest June days on record. The Met Office said temperatures would climb above 30C widely across England including places such as Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol and Cambridge, with highs of 35C in London and south-east England. Amber heat health alerts for Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West have been extended into Wednesday morning. A yellow heat health alert has also been extended for the North West.

'Do not eat': Ice lollies pulled from shelves over allergy fears
A popular ice lolly brand has been pulled from the shelves of major supermarkets over allergy fears. Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies are being recalled because they contain milk and nuts, including pistachios, peanuts and soya, which are not mentioned in English on the label. Unilever UK, which owns brands such as Ben and Jerry's and Cornetto, says the ingredients and allergens on the packets are in Spanish. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) say the lollies are a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to nuts (pistachios), peanuts and/or soya. The recall notice affects pack sizes with ten lollies (35ml) and batch codes L5123, L5126, L5127, L5128, L5129, L5141, and L5142. The lollies have a best-before date of May 2027. This alert affects only the specific Mini Milk products which have been purchased from stores in the UK. No other Wall's products are said to be affected. Point of sale notices will be displayed in stores where the product is sold. A company statement said: 'The product and ingredients are the same as the UK product, and only a limited number of Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla Strawberry & Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies 10x35ml packs feature the incorrect Spanish label. 'We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your co-operation.' Customers with allergy concerns should not eat them, and instead return it to the store where it was bought for a full refund.

The brave mum has since been on a mission to raise awareness over severe allergies - and in particular the lack of up to date epipens. The signs of an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis + what to do SYMPTOMS of an allergy usually occur within minutes of contact with with the offending food or trigger, but they can also come on up to one hour later. Most allergic reactions are mild but they can also be moderate or severe. Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction which can be life threatening. In some cases, anaphylaxis symptoms lead to collapse and unconsciousness and, on rare occasions, can be fatal so it's important to know how to recognise them and act quickly. Mild to moderate symptoms include: Itchy mouth, tongue and throat Swelling of lips, around the eyes or face Red raised itchy rash (often called nettle rash, hives or urticaria) Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea Runny nose and sneezing Severe symptoms of anaphylaxis include: Swelling of your throat and tongue Difficulty breathing or breathing very fast Difficulty swallowing, tightness in your throat or a hoarse voice Wheezing, coughing or noisy breathing Feeling tired or confused Feeling faint, dizzy or fainting Skin that feels cold to the touch Blue, grey or pale skin, lips or tongue – if you have brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet Anaphylaxis and its symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency. Follow these steps if you think you or someone you're with is having an anaphylactic reaction: Use an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) if you have one – instructions are included on the side of the injector. Call 999 for an ambulance and say that you think you're having an anaphylactic reaction. Lie down – you can raise your legs, and if you're struggling to breathe, raise your shoulders or sit up slowly (if you're pregnant, lie on your left side). If you have been stung by an insect, try to remove the sting if it's still in the skin. If your symptoms have not improved after 5 minutes, use a second adrenaline auto-injector. Do not stand or walk at any time, even if you feel better. Sources: Allergy UK, NHS
