Aldi has initiated a recall for one of its steak products due to health concerns. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) disclosed that Aldi will be withdrawing its £3.99 Ashfields 30 Day Matured Thin Cut Beef Steaks from stores. This action was taken because the steaks were found to contain milk, which was not declared on the label. This oversight could potentially pose a health risk to individuals who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. Customers who may have purchased the affected 360g packs with a use-by date of October 26, 2025, are advised not to consume the product.
The FSA highlighted that the presence of undeclared milk in the steaks could be harmful to those with milk allergies or intolerances. Aldi is actively recalling the product and has been instructed to inform relevant allergy support organizations about the issue. Additionally, the company has issued point-of-sale notices to alert consumers about the recall and provide guidance on what to do if they have purchased the affected product.
Consumers who have bought the recalled steaks are encouraged to return them to Aldi for a full refund. For more information or assistance, individuals can visit https://help.aldi.co.uk/s/ or contact Aldi’s customer services at 0800 042 0800.
In a similar incident, shoppers who purchased the XXL Sondey Stroopwaffel with Caramel Flavour Filling and Butter from Lidl have been cautioned against consuming the product as it may contain metal fragments. The FSA issued an urgent recall for the 560g packages of this sweet treat with best before dates of November 21, 2025, December 2, 2025, or December 3, 2025.
Lidl is conducting a recall of the affected product and will display point-of-sale notices in all retail outlets where it was sold. Customers are advised not to consume the product and should return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
