Aldi has initiated a recall concerning one of its steak products due to potential health concerns. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced that Aldi will be removing its Ashfields 30 Day Matured Thin Cut Beef Steaks from stores, priced at £3.99, as the product was found to contain milk not listed on the label. This oversight could pose health risks for individuals who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. Customers who may have purchased these steaks with a use-by date of October 26, 2025, are advised not to consume them.
The FSA has highlighted that this packaging error could present a health risk to those allergic or intolerant to milk or its constituents. Aldi is actively recalling the affected product and has reached out to allergy support organizations to inform their members about the recall. The company has also issued point-of-sale notices to explain the reason for the recall and provide guidance to customers who have purchased the product.
Consumers who have bought the recalled steaks can return them to Aldi stores for a full refund. For more information, individuals can visit https://help.aldi.co.uk/s/ or contact customer services at 0800 042 0800.

Lidl is recalling the affected product and will display point-of-sale notices in stores selling it to inform customers about the recall process.
