An urgent recall has been issued for a chicken product sold at Aldi due to the possible presence of pieces of plastic. BM Foods Ltd is recalling its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings over concerns that the plastic fragments pose a choking hazard, making the product unsafe to eat.
The affected batch is the 400g pack with batch code 50328453 and an expiration date of July 4, 2025. Customers who have purchased this product are advised not to consume it and to return it to their nearest Aldi store for a full refund.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has released a recall notice stating: 'If you have bought any of the above products do not consume them. Instead, return them to your nearest Aldi store for a full refund.' For further information, customers can visit help.aldi.co.uk/s or contact customer services on 0800 042 0800.
This recall follows a separate alert from Lidl, which withdrew its own-brand hash browns due to potential metal fragments. The Harvest Basket Hash Browns (750g packs, batch 5144L, best before 24 May 2027) may contain metal pieces, posing a choking risk.
Consumers are reminded to check the FSA and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites for comprehensive recall information. Recall notices are also displayed in stores when products are withdrawn from sale.
