ASDA has recalled garlic butter sold on its fish counters because it could trigger potentially deadly allergic reactions to nuts.

Its garlic and parsley butter could contain peanuts which isn't labelled and could pose a threat to anyone with a peanut allergy.

The garlic butter is only sold on the supermarket's fish counter as an accompaniment to its fresh fish, Asda said.

It is now recalling the butter from all stores because of the risk of triggering allergic reactions as it may contain "low levels" of peanut, it warned.

Symptoms of a nut allergy include stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, itchy mouths and a swollen throat.

In more serious cases, it can cause shortness of breath and even make them go into anaphylactic shock.

Asda is asking anyone with a nut allergy who has bought the garlic butter not to eat it.

It said you can return the product to any of its stores and receive a full refund.

You don't need to bring a receipt and you can find your nearest branch on Asda's website.

In a statement on its website, the supermarket wrote: "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and will ensure this doesn’t
happen again."

Asda has more than 600 branches in the UK.
