Asda issues urgent recall for popular sandwich filler as buyers warned 'do not eat'
Asda has issued an urgent recall for a popular sandwich filler , urging buyers to return the item immediately. The supermarket giant has urged any shoppers with the item to return it to their nearest store. Anyone who has a 160g packet of Asda's own brand Hot and Spicy Chicken Breast Slices with the use-by date of May 30, 2025, should avoid eating it. The product comes in at £2.94 and is currently listed on Asda's website. If you have the sliced chicken with a different date, then your product is not affected. Similarly, no other chicken products from Asda are affected by the recall. The Food Standards Agency said in a statement on Tuesday, April 29, that the supermarket had "precautionarily" recalled the sliced chicken as those packets were showing an incorrect use-by date. The FSA issued a 'do not eat' warning over the item. Asda has promised a full refund for anyone who returns the product, with no need for a receipt. In a statement, they said: "Product has been packed with the incorrect use-by date. "If you have purchased Asda Hot and Spicy Chicken Breast Slices with a use-by date of May 30, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. "You do not need your receipt. "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you would like any further information, please contact Asda Customer Relations - 0800 9520101." In a statement on their website, the FSA said: "Our advice to consumers. If you have bought the above product do not eat it. "Instead, return it to your nearest store for a refund. For further information, contact ASDA's customer relations line on: 0800 952 0101." The Mirror reports that you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites for any other recalls. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves. Asda was one of three supermarkets to make recalls of different products last week. They recalled their Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices, as the product's label may have neglected to note the presence of milk and sulphites. Morrisons urgently recalled its 400g pack of Morrisons The Best 6 Thick Cumberland Sausages, with a best before date of May 1, 2025, as it may have contained "small pieces of blue plastic". Elsewhere, Aldi pulled its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter because the label does not mention milk as an ingredient.
