A popular range of pies sold in supermarkets across the UK are being recalled amid a dangerous labelling error. Shoppers are asked not to consume certain products from Pieminster Kitchens beyond Tuesday, June 24 as a packaging mistake indicates they are edible until June 2026.
The urgent warning from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) applies to 10 flavours, including various steak, chicken, vegan and vegetarian options. Each of the affected pies comes in a box weighing 270g.
Pieminster has now issued notices to retailers and taken the incorrect packaging off supermarket shelves. The Bristol-based brand, which also owns nine restaurants, has ensured customers any purchased pies are still safe to enjoy for the next eight days.
The pies can be found in stock at multiple UK supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Ocado. A full refund will be offered in store upon return of any purchased pie.
Customers can also contact Pieminister for more information by emailing [email protected] or calling 0117 942 3300. You can find a full list of the affected flavours can be found below:

This isn’t the only recall the FSA has had to put in recent days. Last week, Lidl shoppers were told not to eat a frozen breakfast item as they may contain a dangerous material.
The sale of the supermarket’s Harvest Basket Hash Browns was halted after it was discovered they could be contaminated by pieces of metal. Shoppers have also been urged to bin packets of Jolly Ranchers sweets after the FSA confirmed the popular US sweets were “not compliant with UK laws.”
Sold in specialised American candy shops, the hard sweets were found to contain two mineral oils not allowed on British shelves, with one of them linked to an increased risk of cancer.
