Supermarket issues urgent warning to shoppers not to eat popular sandwich filling which could contain PLASTIC
ALDI has issued an urgent warning to shoppers not to eat a popular sandwich filling as it could contain plastic. Shoppers at the bargain supermarket have been told that the food item is "unsafe to eat". The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a notice this afternoon that BM Foods Ltd is recalling its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings. Officials say the product should not be eaten as it could contain pieces of plastic and a risk of choking. The FSA said that notices would be put up in Aldi stores where the items are sold telling customers to return them. In the notice, the agency said the product contains "possible presence of pieces of plastic in the products which presents a choking hazard and makes them unsafe to eat. It added: "Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. "These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products." They advise not to consume the product and to instead return it to your nearest Aldi store for a full refund. In response to the item being recalled, Aldi said: "As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling selected packs of Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings because they may contain plastic. "Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given." The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about any problems associated with food. In some case a 'Food Alert for Action' can be issued which details a specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers. It's not the only product to be recalled by Aldi recently either. The retail giants were forced to pull their Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter this week as it could endanger allergy sufferers. And a popular sweet treat has also been urgently recalled from supermarket shelves this month after a labelling error. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item.

'Do not eat': Ice lollies pulled from shelves over allergy fears
A popular ice lolly brand has been pulled from the shelves of major supermarkets over allergy fears. Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies are being recalled because they contain milk and nuts, including pistachios, peanuts and soya, which are not mentioned in English on the label. Unilever UK, which owns brands such as Ben and Jerry's and Cornetto, says the ingredients and allergens on the packets are in Spanish. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) say the lollies are a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to nuts (pistachios), peanuts and/or soya. The recall notice affects pack sizes with ten lollies (35ml) and batch codes L5123, L5126, L5127, L5128, L5129, L5141, and L5142. The lollies have a best-before date of May 2027. This alert affects only the specific Mini Milk products which have been purchased from stores in the UK. No other Wall's products are said to be affected. Point of sale notices will be displayed in stores where the product is sold. A company statement said: 'The product and ingredients are the same as the UK product, and only a limited number of Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla Strawberry & Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies 10x35ml packs feature the incorrect Spanish label. 'We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your co-operation.' Customers with allergy concerns should not eat them, and instead return it to the store where it was bought for a full refund.
