LIDL is recalling cans of herring fillets - because they contain fish.

The budget supermarket is recalling assorted flavours of its Nixe brand assorted Herring Fillets (200g) because it does not mention on the label in English that they contain fish, milk, egg, mustard and wheat (gluten).

They could pose a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to one of the ingredients.
