Aldi recalls mini chicken fillets after listeria is found

SRF reports that listeria bacteria were found in three varieties of Aldi mini chicken breast fillets. The Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office advises consumers not to eat the affected products, and says a health risk cannot be ruled out.

The products are Mini-Classic, Mini-Curry and Mini-Paprika, sold in 150-gram packs at all Aldi Suisse stores. Aldi has removed them from sale and launched a recall. The affected best-before dates are November 14, 17, 20, 24 and 30, 2026.

Listeria monocytogenes infections are usually mild or symptom-free in people with healthy immune systems. They can cause severe symptoms, sometimes with a fatal outcome, in newborns, young children, older people, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. Anyone who has eaten an affected product and is unsure what to do is advised to consult a doctor.
