It may seem obvious that a packet of peanuts could trigger a nut allergy, but some people’s allergies are affected by different types of nuts.

Peanuts are actually a legume — in the same family as peas and lentils — and has different properties to tree nuts, like cashews.

This means that someone can be okay to eat peanuts but suffer if they come into contact with other tree nuts.

ALDI is offering people a full refund if they return the product to the store.

Nut allergies can cause sickness and vomiting, and in extreme cases cause the mouth to swell leaving the person struggling to breathe.

The bags of nuts were only available across three regions in the UK — Neston, Darlington and Goldthorpe.

ALDI Australia has confirmed that they do not stock this particular product.

The 200g snack bag has a use by date of July 2018 and the batch code is 7292 7291.
