Aldi urgently pulls chicken with wrong use-by dates - customers warned 'do not eat'
Aldi shoppers should check for the product
PA
Aldi shoppers have been warned about kebabs that have a mistake on the packaging.
Anyone who has purchased the food should not eat it and can return to stores for a refund.
Ashfields Grill 4 Garlic & Herb Chicken Kebabs
Pack size: 320g
Use by: July 9, 2024
Barcodes: 4061464655010
The use-by date listed is for July but this is incorrect, meaning the products are already out of date and should not be consumed.
Some packs show the wrong use-by dates
