Anyone who shops at Tesco or Aldi has been warned that a few products have recently been urgently recalled due to the safety risks they could potentially pose.

The two major supermarkets have pulled some popular cupboard and fridge staples off shelves due to labelling errors and possible contamination, making them unsafe to consume.

The advice to customers is to carefully check the batch number and date of the product if you've picked it up recently instore, and if you need to return it, you'll receive a full refund - and you don't need to provide a receipt for this.

Chronicle Live reports that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has informed customers that Tesco is recalling a relish due to the possible presence of glass, while Aldi has also pulled two steak products from sale because of a date misprint.

Shoppers have been advised to check their fridges for these products, the details of which can be found below from the FSA.

Tesco

Tesco is recalling Tesco Sandwich Pickle because it may contain pieces of glass, making it unsafe to eat. Pack sizes of 295g with a batch code of 3254 and a best before date of September 11, 2025 are affected.

If you have purchased this product, do not eat it and instead return it to store to receive a full refund - you don't need your receipt. The supermarket has issued a recall notice to its customers apologising for any inconvenience caused, and affected shoppers can contact Customer Services on 0800 505 555 for more information.

Aldi

Aldi is recalling Ashfields Grill Chinese Pork Loin Steaks and BBQ Pork Loin Steaks because of a labelling error which shows incorrect use-by dates, making the products unsafe to eat. 500g packs of these steaks with use by dates of June 22, 2024 are affected.

If you have bought either of these products, do not eat them and return them to Aldi for a full refund. Aldi has displayed point of sale notices in all stores informing customers of the recall, and has apologised that the product "did not meet our normal high standards" - customer services can be contacted on 0800 042 0800.
