Aldi issues an urgent recall of deli meats due to concerns of allergic reactions

Aldi has issued a recall for two types of deli meats due to concerns that they may contain milk, despite not being labeled as such. The affected products are Aldi’s Deli Salami Selection and Deli Continental Selection, both with a September 25 ‘use by’ date. The supermarket has taken this precautionary measure after being alerted by its supplier about possible contamination. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) warns that these products could pose a health risk to individuals with a milk allergy or intolerance. The recall notice has been communicated to customers through point-of-sale information, informing them of the reason for the recall and providing instructions if they have purchased the affected products.

Milk allergy and lactose intolerance can manifest in different forms. Some people are allergic to the proteins in cow’s milk, while others are unable to digest lactose, the sugar present in the milk. Symptoms of a milk allergy can range from mild rash and itching to more severe reactions like vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. In extreme cases, anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that obstructs the airways, can occur. While approximately three out of 100 babies have a cow’s milk allergy, most tend to outgrow it as they grow older. However, older children and adults with this allergy often experience more severe symptoms. It is worth noting that milk can also be found in several non-dairy products commonly found on supermarket shelves, including cereals, bread, biscuits, crackers, sauces, and cakes.

Customers who have purchased the affected Deli Salami Selection and Deli Continental Selection with the specified use by date are urged not to consume them if they have a milk allergy or intolerance. Instead, they can return the products to their nearest Aldi store for a full refund. The FSA issues food recalls when potential issues that make the product unsuitable for sale are identified. It is important to be aware of the wide range of products that may contain milk, even if they are not typically associated with dairy. Aldi has taken prompt action to ensure the safety of its customers and has effectively communicated the recall notice to minimize any potential health risks associated with the consumption of these deli meats.
