Magnum ice creams are being urgently recalled over fears they contain plastic and metal.
Packets of almond-flavored sweets have been given a “do not eat” warning by manufacturer Unilever.
Similar contamination fears centered around classic Magnums last month.
Officials at the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which issued both alerts, warn that the products are “not safe to eat”.
Magnum Almond ice creams are usually sold in stores such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s for £3.25 for a box of three.
The recall affects five lots of Magnum almond ice creams sold in packs of three.
Only batches with an expiration date of December 2025 carry risk.
Boxes of three are usually sold in stores such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s for £3.25.
The recall only affects boxes with lot code L3338, L3339, L3340, L3341 and L3342.
Unilever has also issued a notice at the point of sale explaining why the products are being recalled and what to do if they have been purchased.
The manufacturer is asking customers who have purchased affected packages to “not consume the products” and is instead contacting its team for further guidance.

Unilever said: “We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.”
Magnum classics affected by the March recall were also sold in boxes of three.
The FSA issues food recalls, which ask customers to return a product, when problems are detected that mean a product should not be sold.
Pieces of metal in food can cause injuries and pose a choking hazard to both children and adults.
Asphyxiation occurs when the airway is suddenly blocked, either partially or completely, but enough to prevent breathing.
If an adult’s airway is blocked, he or she may be able to clear the obstruction himself.
However, if coughing doesn’t solve the problem, back blows and abdominal thrusts may help. If they don’t work, you should call 999 immediately.
The NHS advises that abdominal thrusts should not be given to babies under one year of age or pregnant women.
