Mars Ireland has issued an urgent recall on batches of Galaxy Milk Bars and Maltesers Fun Size Bags, following fears that salmonella may be present.
The products were initially recalled back in June 2017, but Mars has confirmed that two pallets of the recalled products were placed on the market accidentally.
Customers have been warned not to eat the products due to the risk of salmonella poisoning. It has been recommended that they visit a medical professional if they have consumed the products.
