Aldi shoppers spot 'dupes' for Kinder Bueno eggs after huge recall

Aldi shoppers have spotted a cheaper 'dupe' for the Kinder Bueno mini Easter eggs in store and parents are rushing to grab a bag before Sunday.

This comes as many parents will be checking the back of Kinder products after an urgent recall was announced for a range of products due to suspected salmonella.

So if you're looking for an alternative or even just a cheaper treat than the big branded ones, Aldi has a bag that will cater for all tastes.

The full Kinder recall list is as follows:

  • Kinder Surprise (20g): All dates up to and including January 4 2023
  • Kinder Surprise (20g x 3 pack): All dates up to and including January 4 2023
  • Kinder Surprise (100g): All dates up to and including August 21 2022
  • Kinder Mini eggs (75g): All dates up to and including August 21 2022
  • Kinder Egg Hunt Kit (150g): All dates up to and including August 21 2022
  • Kinder Schokobons (70g, 200g and 320g): All dates up to and including January 4 2023

The Dairyfine Mini Mix Ups have mini eggs that look similar to Oreo, Kinder Bueno and Cadbury Caramel mini eggs.

And for just £1.69, shoppers are thrilled to find them in store as one customer shared her find to popular Facebook group Extreme Bargains and Couponing UK.

One shopper commented: "I’m officially addicted to these. They are so lovely"

"I got some of these for my kids easter baskets and split a bag between them there was loads in", another added.

A third suggested: "These would be great for an Easter egg hunt."

This wouldn't be the first time the budget supermarket have released treats that look similar to others. How could we forget about the Cuthbert versus Colin the caterpillar cake fiasco?

But these mini chocolate eggs certainly won't be around for much longer as some shoppers commented that their store didn't have any left.
