Aldi urges customers to return item immediately as it could cause diarrhoea, bloating, and stomach pain
The German supermarket giant and budget favourite issued the emergency notice to customers this week. Aldi has issued an urgent recall notice, calling for customers to return a specific product to their stores. The supermarket chain warns the item is linked to a dangerous disease that affects one in 100 Brits. The supermarket chain, which competes with the likes of Lidl, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Morrisons, has withdrawn its Specially Selected 4 Cheddar Cheese Scotch Beef Quarter Pounder Burgers from sale. The recall was announced on Monday, July 14, and affects products purchased from Bathgate stores near Birmingham at the moment. The item carries the barcode 4088600410098 and has a use-by date set for May 2026. Aldi released a statement saying: "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 contains an undeclared allergen (gluten)." The retailer apologised for any inconvenience caused and continued: "This is a precautionary recall." Aldi confirmed that the product, retailing for £3.29, has been removed from shelves in all impacted stores and that all batches in question are being recalled. The company has provided guidance for affected consumers, stating: "Do not consume the product if you have an allergy or intolerance to gluten and return the product to your nearest store for a full refund." Aldi reassured customers about their commitment to safety and quality, saying: "All our products go through rigorous safety and quality checks." For further assistance, Aldi has invited customers to contact them by saying: "Still need help? Give us a call on 0800 042 0800 or fill out our webform here." Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition, where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. For those with coeliac disease, consuming gluten – a protein in wheat, rye, and barley – triggers this response. When people with coeliac disease eat foods containing gluten, the lining of the small intestine (the gut) becomes damaged. Tiny finger-like projections called villi covering the intestine (gut) lining become inflamed and then flattened, leaving less surface area to absorb nutrients. This can lead to various symptoms. When gluten is removed from the diet, these villi are able to grow back and resume their normal function. Symptoms of coeliac disease can range from mild to severe, and often come and go. Diarrhoea is a common symptom of coeliac disease, according to the NHS. It's caused by the small bowel (intestines) not being able to absorb nutrients (malabsorption). Malabsorption can also lead to stools (poo) containing abnormally high levels of fat (steatorrhoea). This can make them foul smelling, greasy and frothy. They may also be difficult to flush down the toilet. Other common gut-related symptoms include: abdominal pain (stomach ache) bloating and flatulence (farting) indigestion constipation vomiting Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Viral ‘Dubai-style chocolate' bar is urgently recalled over dangerous health risk as shoppers warned ‘do not eat'
Shoppers told not to buy or eat the chocolate CHOC RETURN Viral 'Dubai-style chocolate' bar is urgently recalled over dangerous health risk as shoppers warned 'do not eat' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A VIRAL Dubai-style chocolate bar has been urgently recalled over a dangerous health risk. Shoppers have been warned not to eat the popular sweet treat. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Dubai Chocolate Noesis Love Of Dubai contains peanuts Credit: NOESIS The Food Standards Agency warned that the Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate contains peanuts. But this is not mentioned on the label, making it a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy to the nut. Shops selling the chocolate are warned to "immediately stop sales and to undertake product withdrawals." "The product presents a serious risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts," the FSA said. Businesses have been supplied these products by a company called Black Sea Trading Ltd, "who have so far been uncontactable". The FSA added: "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." It comes after Aldi urgently recalled one of its summer freezer staples after the product's label failed to declare a major allergen. The recall has been issued for its Specially Selected 4 Cheddar Cheese Scotch Beef Quarter Pounder Burgers. 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. And a breakfast pastry has also been urgently recalled from all UK stores over contamination fears with shoppers warned to "not eat" the product. Woodstock Vanilla Creme Crowns, made by Woodstock Foods, have been pulled from shelves after it was discovered they could trigger life-threatening allergic reactions. The product could contain hazelnuts that are not listed on the label, said the Food Standards Agency (FSA). The FSA warned that the product is a "possible health risk" for anyone with an allergy to hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are known to cause severe and sometimes fatal reactions in sensitive individuals. Shoppers have been told the recall affects packs of 12 (50g each) with the batch code 224934 and a best before date of January 2026.

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. Source: Coeliac UK and NHS Urgent recalls for incorrectly labelled products Last month, a major retailer issued an urgent recall of a popular sauce over fears it could pose a life-threatening risk to customers. Aldi's backyard essential is flying off shelves for only $29.99 and instantly gets your home ready for summer The Laoganma Brand Black Bean Chilli Sauce was pulled from shelves after it failed to declare that it contained peanuts on the packaging. The Fortune Foods product was stocked in popular retailers such as Sainsbury's and widely available in Asian supermarkets.

The retailer urged parents and carers to return the Polarn O. Pyret Branded Poppy Print Rompers due to safety concerns.
