Consumers are advised not to consume the item, even if it appears completely safe on the surface. The issue affects a specific batch, but due to the product’s wide distribution, swift action is required.
The recall concerns Urban Eats Japanese Style Vegetable Gyoza, sold at Aldi stores in New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia. According to Food Standards Australia, the product has been found to contain glass fragments, posing a serious danger to anyone who eats it. The affected batch carries a best before date of March 27, 2027.
“The presence of glass in food products may cause injury or illness if consumed,” the agency stated. Customers are urged to immediately return the item to the store for a full refund, and anyone concerned about their health after consuming the product should seek medical advice.
To assist with the process, Aldi has established a dedicated Food Recall Hotline at 1800 709 993. More details can be found on the company’s official website.
