Aldi has issued an urgent recall for its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings due to possible contamination with pieces of plastic, posing a choking hazard. The product, supplied by BM Foods Ltd, is sold in 400g packs with batch code 50328453 and a use-by date of 4 July 2025.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) advised customers not to consume the chicken and to return it to any Aldi store for a full refund. Aldi apologised, stating the product did not meet its normal high standards.
This recall follows another Aldi withdrawal earlier this week of Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter, due to undeclared milk. Last month, SPAR recalled three chicken products over Listeria monocytogenes contamination, which can cause listeriosis.
The FSA has placed notices in affected Aldi stores and urges anyone with concerns to contact Aldi customer service.
