The affected packs are 300 grams with the batch code 2653152 and best before date of September 8, 2021.

“The notices state:”It has been brought to our attention that there may be a small quantity of By Sainsbury’s cooked mussels 300 grams, with a best before date of 08/09/2021 that may be contaminated with salmonella.
Aldi previously recalled a select number of batches of these items.
The retailer has now extended the recall of the chicken products as other batches may also contain salmonella.
Packs are 210 grams and all batch codes and best before dates are now at risk.
The Food Standards Agency website reads: “Aldi is extending its recall of Roosters Southern Fried Poppin’ Chicken and Roosters Breaded Poppin’ Chicken to include all batches and all best before dates, because the products may contain salmonella.”
Point of sale notices have also been issued to stores which gives shoppers more information.
Customers who have bought the items are again asked not to eat them.
Instead, the products can be returned by shoppers to their nearest Aldi store for a full refund.
When an issue is spotted, food items can be recalled or withdrawn, where they are taken off shelves.
