Aldi issues 'do not eat' warning as it urgently recalls popular food

Aldi has recalled packs of its own-brand baby potatoes as they could pose a health risk to anyone with an allergy to dairy products.

The supermarket has confirmed that certain batches of its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter contains milk which is not listed on its packaging.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. The potatoes that have been recalled by Aldi have a use by date up to and including July 1, 2025. The barcode is 4061463488152.
