Food recalls are issued when a possible health or safety risk becomes apparent. Ald, Lidl, Tesco, and Morrisons have all shared warnings in recent days and weeks, telling customers not to eat specific products.
Aldi
The discount retailer has issued a recall on Breaded Chicken Goujons sold at its stores.
The goujons are by brand Roosters and the batches affected have best before dates of November 2021 and October 2021.
Roosters is recalling the product due to the possible presence of Salmonella.
Salmonella can cause serious illness, therefore customers are advised not to eat the product.
They must instead return it to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given.
Lidl
Lidl is recalling The Family Butchers’ Reinert Teddy Bear Sausage Slices.
This product is only sold in Lidl stores in Northern Ireland.
The sausage slices may be contaminated with metal dust, making them unsafe to eat.
Both Lidl and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have advised customers not to eat the product, but to return it to stores for a full refund.
All use by dates up to and including July 5, 2021, are affected.

Tesco
Tesco is recalling various products.
The most recent product to be recalled by the supermarket is its Cottage Pie Baby Food because it may contain pieces of blue plastic.
This makes it unsafe to eat, therefore customers should return the product to their nearest store for a full refund.
The baby food comes in a pack 190g in size and has a best before date of June 12, 2022.
Another product Tesco is recalling is Eat Real’s white cheddar quinoa puffs.
The snack is being recalled because it may contain milk which is not stated on the packaging.
If you have a milk allergy or follow a vegan diet, Tesco said: “Please don’t eat this product. Instead, return it to a Tesco store, and we’ll give you a refund. No receipt is required.”
Morrisons
The supermarket is recalling its own brand Minestrone soup.
This is because it contains both celery and bacon not mentioned on the packaging.
The label states the product is suitable for vegans, which is false due to the presence of bacon.
Both Morrisons and the FSA have advised customers to not eat the product and to return it to stores, where a full refund will be given.
Asda
Asda has issued a recall on its Vegetable Cous Cous.
This is because the product may contain Salmonella.
All date codes up to and including June 3, 2021, are affected.
The supermarket is also recalling its Frozen Vegan Mushroom and Leek Pie.
This is because it may contain traces of milk, even though it is a vegan product and milk is not declared on the packaging.
Asda has advised customers to return both the cous cous and pie to stores for a full refund.
No receipt is required.
