“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to hazelnuts (nuts), an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, and/or an allergy to oats (that are gluten-free).”
Morrisons added: “Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund.
