Aldi Issues Urgent Recall for Honey Roasted Salmon Fillets Over Labeling Error
Aldi has issued an urgent product recall for its Fishmonger Hot Smoked 2 Salmon Fillets – Honey Roasted due to a critical labeling error. The recall is prompted by an incorrect use-by date printed on the packaging, which could pose a safety risk to consumers.
Details of the Recall
The affected product is labeled with a use-by date of 25 June 2026, but the correct date should be 25 April 2026. This discrepancy means the salmon may be unsafe to consume after the earlier date, potentially leading to foodborne illnesses if eaten past its true expiration.
A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) emphasized the seriousness of the issue, stating, "ALDI is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the product. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product."
What Customers Should Do
If you have purchased this product, do not consume it. Instead, return it to the store where it was bought for a full refund. Aldi has confirmed that refunds will be provided without any hassle to ensure customer safety and satisfaction.
An Aldi spokesman added, "As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling the fish because the incorrect use by date is printed on the pack. Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given. We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation."
