Lidl recalls beef and pork mince over fears it contains pieces of plastic
LIDL is recalling beef and pork mince over fears it contains pieces of plastic.
It comes after the supermarket recalled 1kg packs of pork mince earlier in February for the same reason.
The latest product recall applies to Birchwood's combined beef and pork mince, which comes with 23% fat.
The affected packs weigh 750g and have a use by date of March 1, 2021.
The possible presence of plastic makes the mince unsafe to eat.
If you've bought the product, which cost £2.85, Lidl is urging you not to eat it and instead return it to your nearest store for a full refund.
Earlier this month, Lidl recalled chicken nuggets and chicken pops over salmonella fears.
Meanwhile, chicken sold in B&M and Sainsbury's has been recalled for the same reason.
Plus, Tesco recently issued a recall on packs of spicy chorizo slices over fears they could be contaminated with listeria.
