Popular product pulled from ALDI shelves over allergy fears
ALDI has issued an urgent recall for a popular salad and has pulled it from the shelves over fears that it could contain an undeclared ingredient that could cause allergic reactions.

The product was on sale at ALDI stores across NSW, the ACT, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
