The specific batch of vitamin D drops being recalled is LOT 2101001. NHS Highland confirms that this has recently been distributed within the Highland Council area.

A NHS spokesperson said: "Our Health Information and Resources team are able to identify where these vitamins have been distributed and we are contacting them all individually to advise them of the product recall and asking them to check the LOT number on their supply.

"Colleagues have also been asked to stop distribution of product with this LOT number."
