Urgent recall notice for Iceland and Lidl shoppers who bought chicken products

Shoppers have been warned not to eat products sold at two of Britain's biggest supermarkets amid safety fears.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued product recall notices from Iceland and Lidl and told people not to eat them but to get a full refund.

Iceland has recalled its Iceland Ready Cooked Diced Chicken Breast as some of the meat might still be raw.

The affected product is the 800g pack size with a best before date of June 17, 2023.

In its notice the FSA said: "Iceland is recalling Iceland Ready Cooked Diced Chicken Breast because some packs may contain uncooked chicken, Wales Online reported.

“The possible presence of raw, uncooked chicken makes this product unsafe to eat."

"We are taking the precautionary measure of recalling this batch of the above product because some packs may contain raw chicken which may pose a food safety risk.

"Only the best before date listed In this notice Is affected. If you have purchased any of the above product, DO NOT eat it."

Lidl has also recalled a chicken product after it was mispacked.

The store says some of its Birchwood Breaded Katsu Kievs were actually the Garlic and Herb Chicken Kiev in incorrect packaging.

The FSA said in its notice: "Lidl GB is recalling Birchwood 2 Breaded Katsu Kiev because it may contain milk which is not mentioned on the label.

“This is because the product has been mispacked with Garlic and Herb Chicken Kiev which contains milk. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents."

The affected product is the 260g with use by date of October 24, 2022.

Lidl said in its recall notice: "Lidl is recalling Birchwood 2 Breaded Katsu Kiev with Use By Date 24 OCT as the product may contain Garlic and Herb Chicken Kiev, which contains milk which is not declared.

"If you have bought the above-mentioned product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk, we advise you not to eat it. Instead, return it to a Lidl GB store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.

"Other Use By Dates or Birchwood products are not affected by this recall. Lidl GB wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Any customers with queries or concerns can contact Customer Services on 0800 4441234 or customer.services@lidl.co.uk."
