FSANZ pulls popular kitchen ingredient from shelves due to potential health risk!

As people age, it's crucial to be vigilant about the food we consume, not just for our waistlines but also for our overall health.

The latest food recall is a stark reminder of this, as a popular pantry staple has been pulled from the shelves due to a serious health risk.

Shoppers are being warned to check their pantries and avoid consuming the affected item to prevent serious illness.


Stonemill Sesame Seeds 60g, a common ingredient found in the spice aisle of ALDI stores, has been recalled across Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia.

According to Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ), Salmonella contamination was the reason for the urgent recall.

‘Food products contaminated with Salmonella may cause illness if consumed,’ the recall stated.

‘Consumers should not eat this product.’

If you've purchased the Stonemill Sesame Seeds from ALDI, it's important to take immediate action.


Do not use the product in your cooking or baking. Instead, return it to any ALDI store, where you'll be entitled to a full refund.

‘Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice,’ FSANZ advised.

ALDI has provided a Food Recall Hotline for concerned customers to call for more information: 1800 709 993.

Don't hesitate to use this resource if you have any questions or concerns about the recall or the safety of other products.


The recent recall underscores a broader concern regarding food safety that everyone should be aware of.

It's not just about the products we buy but also understanding the risks associated with certain foods.

In light of these events, an experienced emergency room doctor has shared valuable insights on which foods to avoid to minimise the risk of severe food poisoning.
