UPDATE: Aldi has issued an urgent recall for its frozen Urban Eats vegetable gyoza due to potential glass contamination. The recall, announced by Food Standards Australia on Friday, marks the second time in just two months that these popular dumplings have been pulled from shelves.
The recall affects the 750g green-packaged frozen gyoza sold nationwide, excluding Tasmania and the Northern Territory. The product is being recalled due to the presence of foreign matter, specifically glass, which poses a serious health risk. “Food products containing glass may cause illness/injury if consumed,” the official notice warns.
Consumers are strongly advised not to eat the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. “Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice,” authorities stated.
This alarming recall follows a similar incident in July, where the same product was withdrawn due to the same contamination concerns. Both recalls involve batches with best before dates ranging from April 10, 2027 to June 15, 2027, with earlier batches extending to March 27, 2027.
As health officials work to ensure consumer safety, this incident raises urgent questions about product safety protocols and quality control measures at Aldi. The growing concern among shoppers highlights the need for vigilance when purchasing frozen food items.
Authorities are actively investigating the source of the contamination and are urging anyone who has purchased the affected gyoza to act immediately. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as officials continue to address this serious health risk.
In the meantime, consumers are encouraged to check their freezers and discard any affected products. This latest recall serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers lurking in everyday food items. Share this urgent news with friends and family to ensure everyone stays informed and safe.
