Aldi issues urgent recall for mislabelled product
Retailing for £3.29, the burgers failed to disclose gluten as an allergen on the product's label.
This poses a risk to those who are gluten intolerant or suffer from coeliac disease.
Aldi has urged customers to not consume the product if they have an allergy or intolerance to gluten.
Supermarket apologises to shoppers
The German retailer told customers: "As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling Specially Selected 4 Cheddar Cheese Scotch Beef Quarter Pounder Burgers because the product is labelled incorrectly and contained an undeclared allergen (gluten).
"Anyone who bought this product should return it to their nearest store for a full refund."
The statement also apologised for any convenience this may have caused.
The company emphasised that this is a precautionary measure to ensure customer safety.
Aldi announced the recall on July 14, affecting products with the barcode, 4088600410098, and a use-by date of the end of May 2026.
The burgers have since been removed from sale at the Bathgate store while the company works to recall all products.
Customers requiring further assistance can contact Aldi on 0800 042 0800 or complete a webform through the official recall notice page.
What is coeliac disease and what are the main symptoms?
COELIAC disease is an autoimmune condition that affects one in 100 people in the UK.
When someone who has it eats gluten, their immune system attacks their own tissues, which damages their gut.
The symptoms vary from person to person and can range from very mild to severe.
But the most common signs include: severe or occasional diarrhoea, excessive wind and/or constipation
persistent or unexplained nausea and vomiting
recurrent stomach pain, cramping or bloating
any combination of iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency
anaemia
tiredness
sudden or unexpected weight loss
mouth ulcers
skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis)
tooth enamel problems
liver abnormalities
unexplained subfertility
repeated miscarriages
neurological (nerve) problems such as ataxia (loss of coordination, poor balance) and peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the hands and feet)
There is no cure. The only way to manage coeliac disease is with a strict gluten free diet.
This means eating no wheat, rye, barley and oats.
Potential long-term complications include osteoporosis, iron deficiency anaemia, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia, bowel cancer and fertility issues.

Warning not to eat Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate batches over health risk

Batches of Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate contain peanuts, but the Food Standards Agency says this isn't mentioned on the label so it presents a health risk People have been ordered not to eat batches of Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai - a popular brand of chocolate - because the bars may pose a serious health risk. ‌ The Food Standards Agency says the product contains peanuts but this is not stated on the packaging, and therefore is a hazard for those with peanut allergies. It has urged Brits to dispose of the product at home and then contact your local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland. ‌ Affected products are being withdrawn from the market and, where sold at retail, the 95g bars are being recalled. Businesses have been supplied these products by a company called Black Sea Trading Ltd, who have so far been uncontactable. As a result, food safety action is required by the food businesses selling these products, the Food Standards Agency told the media on Tuesday. ‌ Its statement read: "We are notifying consumers and food business who have purchased Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate that this product contains peanut, which is not mentioned on the label, making it a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts." 120,000 cars recalled in major UK alert - your rights and how to get it fixed ‌ It added: "Food businesses selling Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate in the UK, manufactured by NEOSIS, Gida ve Unlu Mam Ltd, are advised to immediately stop sales and to undertake product withdrawals, and where there have been retail sales, to undertake product recalls. This is because the product presents a serious risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts. "Businesses have been supplied these products by a company called Black Sea Trading Ltd, who have so far been uncontactable. As a result, food safety action is required by the food businesses selling these products... This product contains peanuts making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts." Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate can be bought in most large supermarkets. The Food Standards Agency continued: "We are working closely with relevant enforcement authorities to progress investigations and ensure affected products are withdrawn from the market and, where sold at retail, recalled. We are informing allergy organisations of the issue. "Don't buy this product, and if you have bought it, don't eat it, especially if you have a peanut allergy. Dispose of the product at home and get in touch with your local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland, to let them know where you purchased it." A similar measure was put into place earlier this month when the Classic Scotch Egg and Wall's Two Classic Scotch Eggs were recalled over salmonella fears.

Sick crimes of morgue rapist David Fuller ‘could be REPEATED unless bodies are better cared for'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE sickening crimes of morgue rapist David Fuller could be repeated unless bodies are better cared for, an inquiry has warned. Fuller, 68, was jailed for life in 2021 for sexually assaulting 101 female corpses while working as a maintenance engineer at NHS hospitals. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Necrophiliac killer David Fuller abused at least 100 deceased women and girls Credit: PA The inquiry has already ruled better management and security could have prevented his crimes at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust in Kent. Now it has concluded regulation of the care of people after death is 'partial, ineffective and, in significant areas, completely absent'. Chairman Sir Jonathan Michael said: 'I have come to the conclusion that the current arrangements for the regulation and oversight of the care of people after death are partial, ineffective and, in significant areas, completely absent. 'I have concluded that it is entirely possible that such offences could be repeated, particularly in those sectors that lack any form of statutory regulation.' More than half a million British people die every year, with 568,613 in England and Wales in 2024. Sir Jonathan added he was concerned there are no industry standards for caring for dead people, and that anyone could become a funeral director without any qualifications. He said there is a 'cultural reluctance' to accept bodies can be abused. He went on: 'I am not confident arrangements currently in place satisfactorily protect the deceased from the risk of abuse.' 'I urge all those involved in the care of people after death to question whether they uphold the same standards as they would if that person were alive. 'The deceased are as vulnerable as the living and they are worthy of the same protection. 'The harm inflicted on David Fuller's victims and the hurt and trauma experienced by their families must never be repeated.'
