Two shocking recalls! Supermarket pulls popular pasta buy and anchovies off shelves due to fears that they could cause serious harm
- Replies 0
Just when you thought it was safe to enjoy a relaxing meal of your favourite dishes comes some unsettling news from some of Australia's most beloved supermarkets.
ALDI has recently issued a recall of its popular jars of anchovies, which have been sold in stores around the country.
At the same time, Woolworths also issued a recall for its Leggo's Fresh Ricotta and Vegetable Tortellini.
ALDI has urgently recalled two types of their popular OceanRise Anchovy Fillets – in Olive Oil (100g) and in Olive Oil with Chilli (100g).
According to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), the reason behind this recall can be traced back to elevated levels of histamine in these jars of anchovies, which can cause illness if eaten.
Histamine is a naturally occurring substance in certain fish, like anchovies, which can increase when the fish is not properly refrigerated or preserved.
Consuming histamine at high levels may trigger symptoms similar to an allergic reaction, such as rashes, itchiness, headaches, dizziness, or even difficulty breathing.
All best-before-date codes are affected by this recall.
Anyone who's recently bought these products is advised not to eat them and to return them to the ALDI store where they were purchased for a full refund.
Moreover, if you are concerned about your health or if you have already indulged in the anchovies, it is recommended that you seek medical advice. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to matters concerning your well-being.
For more information or if you have any concerns, you can reach out to the ALDI Food Recall Hotline on 1800 709 993.
Their store representatives will be more than happy to assist you.
In another concerning report, Leggo’s Fresh Ricotta and Vegetable Tortellini has been taken off shelves in Woolworths stores in Queensland after Patties Foods Pty Ltd received reports that metal may have been detected in the product.
This pasta was sold with a use-by date of 04/08/2023, and according to the recall notice, it may cause illness or injury if consumed due to foreign matter contamination.
We strongly advise that if you have purchased this product with the above use-by date, you should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Stay vigilant and don't forget to share this information with your friends and loved ones to ensure their safety as well.
