Uber Eats has said it will edit its new Super Bowl commercial after it was criticized for appearing to make a joke about a man's peanut allergy.

The ad, titled "Don't Forget Uber Eats," features stars David and Victoria Beckham and actors Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, and is based on the idea of people forgetting things.
