'Do not eat warning' issued as Aldi recalls baby potatoes product over undeclared milk allergen risk
Aldi has issued an urgent product recall for one of its ready-to-eat potato products over a health risk.

The recall, issued on April 8, 2025 and updated on April 9 due to a formatting issue, applies to Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter, pack size 385g, with a use by date of April 12, 2025.
According to the Food Standards Agency, the product “contains milk making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
As a precaution, Aldi is recalling the affected product and has contacted relevant allergy support organisations to notify members of the risk. The supermarket chain will also be displaying point-of-sale notices in all affected stores, explaining the reason for the recall and advising customers what to do if they’ve purchased the item.
The official risk statement says: “This product contains milk making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
