Notice as well, it's only a precautionary measure (from what I read) and not actually anything found.
We had an apple strudle from Aldi and whilst I was eating some I notice on my spoon before I shoveled the next mouthful in there was a string like thing on my spoon. It was like a nylon material. It was a case of thank f**k I didn't swallow it as god knows what might of happened.
But we still do some of our shopping in Aldi's

Lol no not getting at you mate, never meant it to sound that way, was stuck up apple jack who probably too snooty to go within a hundred miles of an Aldi store so keeps shopping at waitrose because he actually thinks he is buying a better product because it costs 3 times as much lol

Indeed some of their products are made by the same supplier that supplies Marks and Spencer's own brand products. Sometimes the odd batch has been delivered with the wrong packaging.
If the product is made in the UK. There is only a finite number of mass production suppliers that could deliver the quality of required products that a typical UK supermarket demands for consistent stock.

Jay, your interest in me is unusual, quite a funny picture you've built for yourself. Conversely you're a no-mark to me.
Look it's quite simple, I can prove that Aldi food was produced in a dirty factory leading to a recall, none of you can prove that the products sold by Aldi are the same just in a different packet.

Their pies etc all come from the same factory and the same machine. Having worked on said machine and checked the programmes they use for each piece as they are all different shapes and weights etc I can confirm it is the same ****, different pack.

Aldi, sainsbury, tesco, as da and many othersuppliers products are all made in the same factory.

I am a controls engineer and I set up the chemical dosing plant for the production line of said pies. At the end of the line is the packing machine and they just load what ever the packaging required is, I had to test every programme to check the right amount of cleaning chemicals were dosed into the system after each run.
Tesco own brand, Aldi, as da own, and many more are all the same.
The finest ranges are all the same too they however use a higher meat content mix.

So you're saying they're not the same but they're the same. Makes sense. "The finest ranges are all the same too they however use a higher meat content mix." Just tell me the brand of pie and I'll do the leg work, I'll even call them.

I don't eat pies or ready meals but am prepared to do so for science. If someone's convinced that a product from Aldi is the same as one from Waitrose, name it and I'll buy it. Actually I told a bit of a lie there as I'll sometimes get a Lasagne if in a rush, Waitrose is very different to Tesco.

Just because they are different shape size and weight is irrelevant. The content and filling etc is exactly the same.
The finest ranges use the same mix for each brands finest range just the filling has a higher meat content than the "regular" pies.
It is a widely accepted practice especially in the electrical world, I can go and buy the same thing from 7 different manufacturers that are all exactly the same. Yet branded and sell at vastly different prices.

If one product has more "meat content" than the other then how is it the same?
Like I said, tell me the two that I should buy and I'll cook and compare with photos.

I remember about 20 years ago when Tesco had a recall on there budget chicken nuggets, because they where made using meet not fit for humans. How many other companies had to recall there chicken nuggets. NONE funny that.
Also there more expensive chicken nuggets weren't effected?
