Aldi launches second recall on popular frozen food item over glass hazard
Supermarket giant Aldi has issued a nationwide recall on a popular dumpling product found to have been contaminated with glass, just two months after an alert for the same issue.
The warning is for 750g packs of Urban Eats Japanese Style Vegetable Gyoza with best-before dates ranging from April 10, 2027 to June 15 the same year.
The product has been available at Aldi store in NSW, ACT, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and WA.

“Consumers should not eat this product.”
Shoppers can return their purchase for a full refund, and consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
It comes less than two months after Aldi recalled the same product over the possible presence of glass.
Those affected products have a best-before date of March 27, 2027 and were sold in stores across NSW, the ACT, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and WA.
In a separate alert issued on Friday, bowls of Fine Food WA’s crunchy brown rice salad were recalled over a Listeria contamination.
The impacted product, with a use-by date marking of September 22, 2025, has been available at Woolworths stores in WA.
Consumers have been warned not to eat it, and return it for a refund.
“Listeria monocytogenes may cause severe illness in pregnant women, unborn babies, neonates, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals,” FSANZ said.
“The general population can also become ill from consuming food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.”
