Urgent Recall: Cheshire Farm’s popular Caramelised Biscuit Ice Cream has been pulled from shelves across the UK. The reason? Undisclosed hazelnuts lurking in the 1L tubs, putting nut allergy sufferers at serious risk.
Hazelnut Danger Sparks Food Standards Warning

The FSA warns: “Consumers with nut allergies should stop eating this product immediately.”
