The pies were mistakenly labelled with a use-by date of June 24, 2026, instead of June 24, 2025 – a full year too late.
The popular food brand warned that eating the pies past the intended expiry date would be unsafe.

It comes after Lidl urgently recalled a popular breakfast item over fears it contains pieces of metal.
The supermarket giant has pulled Harvest Basket Hash Browns from its shelves and urged customers to return the product immediately.
Shoppers were advised to avoid the 750g frozen goods following concerns they are unsafe to eat and pose a serious choking hazard.
Warning notices will be issued in stores across the country to return the item with a batch number 5144L and best before date 24 May 2027.
The Food Standards Agency confirmed yesterday that any customer returning the breakfast favourite will be issued with a full refund.
Anyone who has purchased the product has been advised to call 0203 966 5566 or email customer.care@lidl.co.uk.
Staying Safe with Product Recalls in the UK
In a statement, the budget retailer said: "Lidl GB is recalling the product due to the potential presence of foreign bodies (metal) which may present a choking hazard.
"If you have bought the above product we advise you not to eat it.
"Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be issued."
This follows an urgent warning which was issued to UK shops selling a popular sweet product.
And a popular children's toy has been urgently recalled after it was found to have a "serious risk of suffocating".

We moved to dream home in rural part of Scotland -it's going to be ruined by monstrosity the size of 21 football pitches
The renewables company says noise and disruption will be kept 'to a minimum' POWER PAIN We moved to dream home in rural part of Scotland -it's going to be ruined by monstrosity the size of 21 football pitches Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RESIDENTS in a rural paradise have hit out at plans for a battery energy storage site the size of 21 football pitches. The proposed 500-megawatt facility is being mooted for a field near Rothienorman, Aberdeenshire, despite strong opposition from the local community. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up While designed to store excess wind and solar power to support the country's renewable energy transition, the development has sparked concern over safety, visual impact and disruption to rural life. Riane Thomson-Bialy moved to a home overlooking the site in January. She said she received a letter from Blackford Renewables two weeks later, notifying residents of the project. She told STV: 'You don't move to the middle of nowhere, with everything you've desired for several years, just to find out you have this large-scale monstrosity literally in your back garden. 'It's our dream property – I've got my horses out the back and my outdoor school. 'It was a bit of a shock.' The number of battery energy storage sites being proposed in Scotland is expected to increase drastically as part of the move towards net zero. Over 240 large-scale 'battery energy storage systems' are being planned – or are already operating – in Scotland. Criticism often centres on fire risk and emergency planning. Although industry experts say improvements in technology have reduced these risks, residents remain unconvinced. Scotland's gang war heats up at taxi firm FIREBOMBED and boss targeted by 'machete gang' Marguerite Fleming moved to the village ten years ago and lives on the opposite side of the site. She said the community has already endured five years of construction for a substation and grid stability facility and faces at least another two years of building work if the facility goes ahead. She said: 'They are not going to be able to screen that construction noise from us. 'The last six months have been the most stressful we have had in our lives for the last ten years. It's unbelievable.' She says the risk of fire is deeply concerning for locals. 'We appreciate that with the improved technology fires are a lower risk, but they are a risk. 'BESS sites are insured for fire – they don't take into account how residents might escape from any potential fires.' A public consultation over the site is ongoing until August 26. A statement from Blackwell Renewables read: 'Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a vital role in Scotland's energy transition and contribute to energy security. "Projects such as Blackford Energy Park will help to create a more efficient, resilient, and affordable energy system. 'We have actively sought feedback from the local community and stakeholders through public consultation to help shape the proposals for Blackford Energy Park. "Our design takes advantage of the site's natural topography to minimise visual impact, and we have carefully selected the proposed equipment to reduce noise impact. "Our recent noise assessment shows that noise impact on the local area will be minimal."

It's time to explode the Establishment myths against a wealth tax
This rebuttal largely goes unchallenged by the national media, yet it has at its heart a number of misleading premises. The first is that wealth creation ceases when the wealthy leave. This stems from the myth that the ruling class create wealth through their ingenuity and risk-taking, as opposed to all financial wealth originating from human labour. It would therefore take a mass exodus or nationwide risk to life for wealth creation in a country to cease – we need only look at the hit private profit would have taken during the pandemic had the state not stepped in to shore it up to see the primacy of human labour evidenced. Read more The second is that existing wealth itself is mobile and can "leave" with the wealthy. Some wealth is, of course, mobile, in the form of fine art, precious gems, other luxury items and the king of capital; cash, which is exactly why currency controls and export restrictions and limits exist. However, a significant proportion of wealth is in immobile assets like land, property and British-based businesses whose wealth is generated by, you guessed it, human labour. This wealth cannot up sticks and leave with an individual. The resources remain in the country and are subject to taxation. The third is the Laffer Curve itself which purports to visualise the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue, the idea being that there is an optimum rate of tax which raises the maximum revenue, above which revenue starts to decrease as taxpayers are deterred from remaining in the tax system. This theory, though influential, is unfounded. The concept of trickle-down economics, that tax cuts raise more revenue by encouraging investment and thus benefit society, has not been borne out in data. Tax cuts have not been found to reduce inequality. UK taxes are considerably lower than in most other western European countries, yet we face significant and persistent income and wealth inequalities. Research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that in the UK the top 10% own a staggering 57% of the wealth, while 2 in every 10 adults and 3 in every 10 children, are in poverty. So, if wealth creation doesn't stop when the already wealthy leave, if the super-rich can't take their British resource-dependent wealth with them, and if tax cuts have not been found to reduce inequality, why is the Establishment so opposed to taxing wealth? The other half of their argument is on what may happen in future. Their fear, they say, is that if we make the country less profitable for wealthy individuals, even slightly so through a modest wealth tax, they will leave, and private interest as a whole will be less likely to invest in our economy. How likely this is has been contested by organisations like Tax Justice UK and Patriotic Millionaires UK, so it seems likely that at least some of the millionaires will stay, but regardless the important question is: what do the rest of us stand to gain from any potential risk of flight? We know that waiting for wealth to trickle down has not worked, that inequality has remained high while the rich get richer. We know we won't lose wealth creation as long as we have a fit and able population to do the work. We know we won't lose all existing wealth as long as we have natural resources, built heritage and, yes, a fit and able population to do the work. In fact, the greatest risk to wealth is workforce shortages caused by a public health service on its knees, an undervalued public education system and a cost-of-living crisis deterring new parents. In short, the greatest risk to wealth is continuing to let it go untaxed. Inequality has remained high while the rich get richer (Image: Getty) Yes, we may lose some wealthy individuals who don't want to pay their fair share, we may see fewer corporate lobbyists on their payroll and fewer freebies for the politicians in their pockets – I'll shed no tears for them – but what we stand to gain is a fairer system. A system that addresses inequality and says clearly and proudly, if your private interest has benefitted from our public services: our health, our education, our labour (in every sense!), you will contribute a proportion of that benefit back into the system. There would be no wealth without us, all we are asking is that we all receive our fair share. A wealth tax is a modest policy whose time has well since come. So let there be no shame in calling for one and in doing so declaring that we will not reward greed and excess, we will build a society in which we all have enough. This Labour Government has an opportunity like no other: a mandate, a majority, and a moral imperative. It must embrace it. Mercedes Villalba is a Scottish Labour MSP for the North East Scotland Region.

Diner's fury as trendy Ibiza bar charges her £10 just to hang her BAG up – and she has the receipt to prove it
The restaurant hit back saying it was a 'misunderstanding' ON THE HOOK Diner's fury as trendy Ibiza bar charges her £10 just to hang her BAG up – and she has the receipt to prove it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUTRAGED diners have slammed an Ibiza bar after it charged a diner £10 to hang her handbag on a table hook. The fuming customer even shared the receipt to prove the bizarre fee which was slapped on her check at a sushi restaurant on the Spanish island. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The restaurant is located in holiday hotspot Ibiza (stock) 3 A restaurant charged a customer £10 for a 'bag hook' Credit: Getty Tourist Laura Cunei took to social media to share the mind-boggling check which she received after eating at Wakame Ibiza. The receipt said she had been charged €12 (£10) for "gancho bolsa" which means "bag hook" as part of her meal on August 5. She wrote: "The waitress kindly offers to hang our bags on a little hook at the table. "We decline her offer, but due to her insistence, we accepted. "Our surprise upon seeing the this normal? Is it legal?" The stunned diner added: "When we saw the receipt, we told them it didn't seem right to pay that much because we hadn't asked for it. "They told us we could keep the hook if we wanted. "After our refusal and our incredulous expressions, they gave us a new receipt without the 'bag hook' tag." Seething social media users piled on outraged comments on the social media post. Hospitality expert Jesus Soriano, who uploads real-life examples of restaurant rip-offs, shared her post on TikTok. Monkey gang caught 'running scam' targeting tourists at sacred temple One outraged user said: "They'll be charging us to breathe next." Another user even made the jaw-dropping claim that they had been charged extra for having a "good" table. Meanwhile another weighed in saying on one occasion they had been charged nearly £2 per person for not having starters. Spain's consumer protection agency OCU replied to the post on X giving a link to file a complaint. The restaurant's furious bosses later claimed the charge had been a "misunderstanding". Wakame Ibiza said on Instagram: "The amount that appeared on the ticket was the result of an error in our system. "It was marked as a merchandising item with a price, when it should have been shown with zero cost." It comes as diners around the world have been slapped with other unexpected surcharges as part of their restaurant receipts. In the US, outraged diners slammed restaurants for adding extra surcharges onto receipts. The hidden fees were branded "silly and disingenuous" by online users, who poured out on social media to vent their fury at the changes. Tourists have also reported other alleged scams in popular holiday hotspots. Fuming Brit holidaymakers reeled in by prices as low as £7 accused Croatian-based Carwiz of bullying sales tactics, fabricating damage, verbal abuse and even assault. Online reviews of the firm's franchises seen by The Sun allege staff have forged documents, up-sold unnecessary insurance, and taken unauthorised payments from credit cards.
