The UK arm of the German discount supermarket chain Lidl has recalled Nixe branded canned herring products on Saturday, 30 April, because they may include fish. A notice posted by the British Food Standards Agency says that the canned fish might include undeclared ingredients that "could result in a possible health risk".

The food safety agency has said the Nixe products may include "fish, milk, egg, mustard and wheat (gluten)" ingredients "which are not mentioned in English on the label".
