This action follows a recent urgent recall by another retailer concerning some of its products due to undeclared allergens.
The chocolate bars being recalled include the Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka Whole Nut, and others.
These products have been found not to list ingredients such as nuts, soya, wheat, and gluten in English on their packaging.
In October, M&S had to urgently recall one of its popular chocolate snacks due to a potentially life-threatening allergen.
Shoppers were advised to avoid packs of the luxury retailer’s chocolate due to undeclared peanuts.
M&S removed the 120g packs due to concerns they pose a risk to allergy sufferers.
Customers were also advised to return products with the barcode number 0917568/29143603.
This action by Aldi follows shortly after the supermarket chain had to issue another recall.
The company announced that Aldi would withdraw all its Panatas part-baked six-pack custard tarts due to undeclared allergens.
The packaging error means it could pose a health risk to those with allergies.
