Aldi shoppers have been issued with a “do not eat” warning after a product recall was issued by the supermarket.
Aldi has recalled The Fishmonger Hot Smoked 2 Salmon Fillets – Honey Roasted because of a packaging error.
The fish has been labelled with an incorrect use by date, meaning it is unsafe to eat two months earlier than customers would assume.
The recall affects products with a use by date of June 25, because they should have a use by date of April 25.

Food Recalls Explained
What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.
