Chicken Cooked Meat Trimming 400g Aldi
Credit: Aldi
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a notice this afternoon that BM Foods Ltd is recalling its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings.
Officials say the product should not be eaten as it could contain pieces of plastic and a risk of choking.
The FSA said that notices would be put up in Aldi stores where the items are sold telling customers to return them.
In the notice, the agency said the product contains "possible presence of pieces of plastic in the products which presents a choking hazard and makes them unsafe to eat.
It added: "Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products.
"These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products."
They advise not to consume the product and to instead return it to your nearest Aldi store for a full refund.
In response to the item being recalled, Aldi said: "As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling selected packs of Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings because they may contain plastic.
"Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given."
The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about any problems associated with food.
In some case a 'Food Alert for Action' can be issued which details a specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
It's not the only product to be recalled by Aldi recently either.
The retail giants were forced to pull their Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter this week as it could endanger allergy sufferers.
And a popular sweet treat has also been urgently recalled from supermarket shelves this month after a labelling error.

Aldi's 89p bakery staple will repel flying ants from your home for good – they hate the smell & it lasts for weeks
EXPERTS have warned Flying Ant Day could be one of the biggest in recent years, but Aldi's cupboard staple will keep the pests out of your home. The affordable and simple solution is a toxin-free way to keep a potential ant problem at bay. Pest control experts swear by it To deter these pesky insects from infiltrating your home, experts recommend Ground Cinnamon, and you can get it for less than £1 in Aldi. For only 89p, shoppers can pick up this household essential, which is known to solve the pest problem. Chemical methods can be effective, but for shoppers wanting to find a non-toxic and harmless remedy to the issue, cinnamon is the perfect option. Will it kill the ants? Put simply, no, using cinnamon in your home does not kill the ants, but it will deter them. President of Black Pest Prevention, Nicole Carpenter explained: "The scent of cinnamon itself doesn't kill ants. However, it makes the life of ants much more difficult. "Cinnamon is a product with a strong scent, and this strong scent can create an unfavourable environment for ants, making them want to leave your space." Similar products like vinegar or essential oils also emit a similar strong scent and work by intercepting the pheromone trails, which they use to find food. Getting started There are different ways to use cinnamon to prevent ants. The simplest option is to sprinkle ground cinnamon along the ant's entry points and trails, creating a barrier to stop the pests infesting your home. However, it's not the most permanent option, as a strong wind or movement can blow the cinnamon away. What's more, for some homeowners, the idea of having cinnamon scattered around their home is not an appealing solution. Experts also suggest using cinnamon sticks as a mess-free option. For a solution which is less likely to blow away, lay the sticks in any location where you have seen the ants to have a similar non-toxic deterrent. To level up this hack, experts said essential cinnamon oil is also an effective method. Mix 60 ml of water with the same quantity of vodka (optional) and add 20-25 drops of the cinnamon oil. 3 The vodka is used to keep the solution together after it has been shaken. This solution can be sprayed in the problem areas, and can be applied when necessary, which means you do not have to see the cinnamon scattered around your home. Experts are warning that this year's Flying Ant Day could be the biggest in recent records due to the summer's high humidity. The high humidity encourages ants to swarm and can wreak havoc on your summer plans. But as Paul Blackhurst, Head of the Technical Academy at Rentokil Pest Control, said: "While flying ants may disrupt your picnic, barbeque, or pub garden pint, they play a vital role in the ecosystem.' He added: "This natural event, when vast numbers of winged ants, known as a lates, take to the skies at once in search of mates from other colonies, could be one of the most prolific for years." Experts have suggested that year's Flying Ant Day - the annual mating flight where millions fill the skies in synchronised displays - could be one of the biggest in recent years.

And a popular sweet treat has also been urgently recalled from supermarket shelves this month after a labelling error. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item.
