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.
