Tesco, Aldi, Asda and Morrisons issue food recalls over salmonella and allergy fears

A number of supermarkets have issued product recalls on frozen meat, biscuits and even nuts over fears the items could trigger allergies or lead to food poisoning.

Aldi said it's recalling packs of frozen chicken after an investigation found a number of batches may contain traces of salmonella.
