Aldi and Morrisons urgently pull chicken from supermarket shelves as the meat is 'unsafe'
Major supermarkets issued a warning to customers urging them not to eat some chicken products sold within the stores.
Aldi recalled Ashfields Grill Four Garlic and Herb Chicken Kebabs over the weekend because of safety issues.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: "Aldi is recalling Ashfields Grill Four Garlic and Herb Chicken Kebabs because of a labelling error which shows an incorrect use-by date, making the product unsafe to eat."
Aldi said the recall is a "precautionary measure" as the supplier labelled "a small number of products" with the incorrect use-by date of July 9.
The supermarket assured: "No other products are affected. Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given."
Aldi added: "We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation."

On June 7, the FSA noted that Morrisons recalled wafer thin cooked chicken "because it may contain small pieces of metal".
