Customers who have purchased any of the affected items are advised to check the batch codes or 'best before' dates.
If there is an issue, the products can be returned to the shop where they were bought for a refund.
Included in the recalls is a warning to pet owners over a dog food brand potentially contaminated with salmonella, causing a health risk to the dogs eating it and the humans handling it.
M&S recall
Marks & Spencer is recalling its popular M&S Milk Chocolate Honeycomb because it may contain peanuts which are not mentioned on the label.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.

Marks & Spencer is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice in stores to alert its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
The Food Standard Agency (FSA) says: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to peanuts, do not eat it. Instead return it to your nearest store for a full refund. For more information, please contact Marks & Spencer on 03330 148555."

What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
