Oops! Looks like some popular items might need a trip back to Asda. The supermarket has issued urgent recalls for both food and clothing products due to unexpected safety concerns, including mislabeled use-by dates and hidden allergens. Are your recent purchases on the list? You’ll want to check this out to ensure your safety and get a full refund!

Asda, one of the UK’s leading supermarket chains, has issued an urgent product recall affecting a range of popular items due to significant safety concerns. This proactive measure ensures the well-being of consumers, urging them to immediately cease use or consumption of the affected products and return them for a full refund, underscoring the retailer’s commitment to customer safety.

These critical alerts are often initiated in collaboration with regulatory bodies such as the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public health. The FSA is responsible for issuing Product Recall Information Notices, informing both local authorities and the public about potential issues, and, in more severe cases, a “Food Alert for Action” may be issued, providing specific directives for necessary interventions.

For any customer who has purchased the now-recalled items, the primary advice is clear and unequivocal: do not consume or use them under any circumstances. Instead, consumers are strongly encouraged to return the products to their nearest Asda store. A receipt is not necessary for these returns, simplifying the process and ensuring accessibility for all affected shoppers seeking a complete refund.

Among the items affected is a selection from Pieminister Kitchens, specifically recalled due to an alarming mislabelling error concerning their use-by dates. The labels incorrectly state “use-by June 24, 2026,” which is a full year beyond their actual safe consumption period. The correct and critical use-by date is “June 14, 2025,” meaning these items are not safe to eat past June 24 of the current year.

The specific Pieminister products implicated in this recall include those with best before dates ranging from June 17, 2025, to July 16, 2026. Customers should also be vigilant for items bearing batch code 505610458721. The Food Standards Agency has reinforced this warning, advising against consuming these products beyond their true use-by date while confirming the availability of refunds.

Beyond food products, Asda’s own clothing brand, George, has also initiated a product recall for certain sandals. The issue pertains to the presence of nickel found in the metal trims of some Lilac and Sage coloured sandals. This discovery is particularly concerning as nickel can cause adverse skin reactions in susceptible individuals, ranging from mild irritation to more severe allergic contact dermatitis.

The George sandals affected by this recall are the Ladies double buckle style in all sizes, specifically in the Lilac and Sage colour variations. As with the food recalls, customers who have purchased these sandals are advised to return them to any Asda store for a full refund, and again, no receipt is required. It is important to note that no other colours of this sandal style have been impacted by this particular safety alert.

Asda has expressed its sincere apologies for any inconvenience or concern caused by these urgent recalls. The supermarket chain encourages any customer seeking further information or clarification regarding these safety notices to contact Asda Customer Relations directly on 0800 952 0101, ensuring that all consumer queries are addressed promptly and thoroughly.
