Several batches of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream have been recalled over fears they may contain small pieces of metal.

Anyone who bought a 500ml carton with a best before date of 01/2018 is being told to check batch numbers and avoid eating it.

A recall notice has been issued by parent company Unilever after they learnt that a small number of products could be affected.

Products - on sale here and in the UK - with four different batch codes are being recalled.

The affected batches are: L62110L011, L62111L011, L62112L011 and L62113L011.

No other flavours or products are affected by the recall.

Affected customers can contact 1800-946-272 for more information.
