ASDA Issues Emergency Recall Over Dodgy Chicken Dates
ASDA has launched an urgent recall after a batch of their Hot & Spicy Chicken Breast Slices was slapped with a seriously wrong use-by date. The packs show a date of May 30, 2025 — way too far ahead, raising fears shoppers might eat spoiled meat.
Food Safety Alert: Don’t Eat, Return for Refund
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has swiftly jumped in, warning customers to avoid eating the product at all costs. ASDA confirmed the recall is a precaution but urged shoppers to act fast.
“If you have purchased ASDA Hot and Spicy Chicken Breast Slices with a use-by date of May 30, please return it to your nearest store. You will receive a full refund, no receipt required. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
The FSA backs this up, advising immediate returns to stop any risk of food poisoning.
No Illnesses Yet, But Risk Remains
Thankfully, no illnesses linked to this chicken fiasco have been reported yet. But the wrongly dated packs could mean the meat has gone off, increasing the chance of nasty food poisoning bugs.
Spot the Risky Chicken:
- Product: ASDA Hot & Spicy Chicken Breast Slices
- Use-By Date: May 30, 2025
- What to Do: Return it to any ASDA store for a full refund
