A popular product from Aldi’s party food selection has been urgently recalled over fears it’s a possible allergy risk.
The supermarket chain said its Let’s Party Vegetable Bao Buns may contain sesame and duck meat which is not mentioned on the label.
Customers who have bought the product, sold in packs of eight, have been advised ‘not to eat it’ as it could pose a health risk for anyone with an allergy to sesame.
The recall affects all packs of Aldi’s Let’s Party Vegetable Bao Buns and not a particular batch.
Officials at the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which published the alert, told customers who have an allergy to sesame to return the product to the store where it was bought for a full refund.
Aldi stated in the recall: ‘Our supplier is recalling Let’s Party Vegetable Bao Buns due to an error meaning some products contain an undeclared allergen (sesame) as well as duck meat which is not listed on the packaging.
‘This may present a health risk to anyone with a sesame allergy.’
It added: ‘We apologise this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation.’
Aldi has also contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall, and a point-of-sale notice has been issued to its customers.
