What to do now

- If you are allergic to or intolerant of gluten, do not eat it.
- Make sure children, carers and anyone you shop for know not to eat it.
- You can return it to Aldi for your money back.

Why it matters. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley, and often in oats unless they are labelled gluten-free. It matters for people with coeliac disease as well as those with a wheat allergy.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- an itchy, tingling mouth
- a raised itchy rash (hives)
- swelling of the lips, face or eyes
- stomach pain or being sick
Get help urgently
- swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing, feeling faint, or collapse — use an adrenaline auto-injector if you have one and call 999, saying it is anaphylaxis
This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.
