Aldi issues 'don't eat' warning over popular item as police launch probe

Aldi has issued an urgent "do not eat" warning to customers over a popular product, as police have launched an investigation into the matter.

The supermarket giant has recalled a specific batch of Village Bakery 8 Tortilla Wraps White amid concerns they could have been tampered with and might contain metal. The recall, which was announced to shoppers last month, affects products with a best before end date of April 29.

Aldi is advising anyone who has bought the wraps to avoid eating them and instead return them to their local store for a full refund. For those seeking more information or with any questions, Aldi customer service can be reached at 0800 042 0800 or through their help website at help.aldi.co.uk.
