Multiple pies sold at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda recalled over health concern
Find below the full list of 10 flavours affected by the urgent recall.
Brits are being warned not to consume multiple flavours of pies from one brand. It's been warned that they are "not safe to consume" due to incorrect date labelling.
Pieminister Kitchens has issued a major recall for 10 of its fresh pies that all weigh 270g due to containing an incorrect use-by date of June 24, 2026. The correct date should be June 24, 2025.
Due to the packaging containing the wrong date, a food alert posted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has confirmed that the products are "not safe to eat beyond their intended use-by date of 24 June this year."
The pies can be found in stock at multiple UK supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Ocado.
The full list of the affected 10 pie flavours are as follows:
Pieminister Moo - British Beef Steak and Craft Ale Pie
Pieminister Moo & Blue - British Beef Steak and Stilton Pie
Pieminister Kate & Sidney - British Beef Steak, Kidney and Craft Ale Pie
Pieminister Deer & Beer - Venison, Milk Stout, Mushroom and Thyme Pie

Pieminister Mooless Moo - Jackfruit 'Steak', Craft Ale and Black Pepper Pie
Pieminister - Goat's Cheese and Sweet Potato Filo Pie with Red Onion and Spinach
Pieminister - Spinach and Feta Filo Pie with Kale, Lemon and Dill
The pie making firm has since advised shoppers in its recall notice that, while the above products are not safe to consume past their use-by date, they are "completely safe to eat" up until then (June 24, 2025.)
However, customers who would prefer to return them will be offered a refund when they contact the Pieminister Kitchens Customer Service on hello@pieminister.co.uk or by phone on 0117 942 3300.
The firm is said to have since issued point of sale noticed to all retailers that sell the savoury pies. These explain to customers why they are being recalled and what to do if they have bought them in the past.
The firm said in its recall notice to customers: "Pieminister Kitchens apologise for any inconvenience this technical issue may cause our customers and assure them that we take this matter very seriously.

This isn't the only recall the FSA has had to issue recently, as we reported last week that Lidl shoppers were being warned not to consume a popular breakfast item that may contain "foreign bodies."
The supermarket's Harvest Basket Hash Browns were being recalled after it was discovered they "may contain pieces of metal", with all 750g pack sizes with the batch code 5144L and the best before date of May 24, 2027 affected.
Sold in specialised American candy shops, these sweets were found to contain two mineral oils not allowed on the UK market, with one of them being linked to an increase in cancer.

Starmer calls for ‘diplomatic solution' after US strikes Iran
There was no British involvement in the action but the Government was informed in advance of the strikes, which involved B-2 stealth bombers and submarine-launched missiles. The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary David Lammy had sought to persuade Mr Trump's administration from holding off on joining Israel in striking Iran, arguing for de-escalation and a diplomatic process. But Mr Trump pushed ahead with the action anyway, which he claimed had 'completely and fully obliterated' key nuclear facilities. Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat. The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the region is a priority. We call… — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) June 22, 2025 The Prime Minister said: 'Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. 'Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat. 'The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the region is a priority. 'We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.' Cabinet minister Jonathan Reynolds would not say the UK supported the military action nor whether he believed the US strikes were legal. Asked on the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg if the US action was a good thing, he said: 'The outcome. It isn't the means by which anyone in the British Government would have wanted to see this occur.' Pushed on whether the US strike was legal, he said: 'It is where we are today.' He said it would be 'naive' to think the risk of Iranian-backed terrorism in the UK will not increase as a result of the US and Israeli action. The Business Secretary told Sky News: 'This is not hypothetical. There is not a week goes by without some sort of Iranian cyber attack on a key part of UK critical national infrastructure. 'There is Iranian activity on the streets of the UK, which is wholly unacceptable.' He added: 'It's already at a significant level. I think it would be naive to say that that wouldn't potentially increase.' The US attacked Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz which are linked to Iran's nuclear programme. The Tehran regime has insisted its nuclear programme is peaceful but its uranium enrichment process has gone far beyond what is required for power stations. In an address to the nation from the White House, Mr Trump warned there could be further strikes if Iran retaliates: 'There will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran.' The strikes followed a build-up of US military equipment, with B-2 stealth bombers – which are the only aircraft to carry a 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb – reportedly used to target the underground facilities. The aircraft have previously used the UK-US airbase on Diego Garcia, one of the Chagos Islands, but it is understood that was not involved in these strikes. The attack on Iran also involved US submarines, which launched around 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Mr Trump's move towards military action came despite Sir Keir's pleas for diplomacy and his repeated calls for de-escalation. On Thursday the Prime Minister warned of a 'real risk of escalation' in the conflict, adding there had previously been 'several rounds of discussions' with Washington and 'that, to me, is the way to resolve this issue'.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: 'By targeting Iran's nuclear sites, the US has taken decisive action against a regime that fuels global terror and directly threatens the UK. 'Iranian operatives have plotted murders and attacks on British soil. We should stand firmly with the US and Israel.'

Iranian operatives have plotted murders and attacks on British soil.

He said: 'Iran must not be allowed to have nuclear weapons, the future of Israel depends on it.' Scotland's First Minister John Swinney called for diplomacy, saying the Middle East conflict has reached 'an alarmingly greater level of danger after the US attacks on Iran'. Iran launched a ballistic missile barrage against Israel in retaliation to the US action. The foreign ministry in Tehran issued a statement condemning 'the United States' brutal military aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities'. It added: 'The Islamic Republic of Iran is resolved to defend Iran's territory, sovereignty, security and people by all force and means against the United States' criminal aggression.'

Brits trapped in Israel will be evacuated 'in hours not days' amid US attacks
The UK has been working on charter flights for Britons trapped in Israel with the airspace expected to reopen on Sunday afternoon so planes can safely enter the country Brits trapped in Israel will be evacuated in "hours, not days" amid rising conflict in the country, the business secretary has this morning announced. With the conflict between Israel and Iran ongoing, the UK has been working on charter flights for Britons in Israel. The country's airspace is currently closed, although it is expected to reopen on Sunday for repatriation flights. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told Sky News: 'We are in active conversations about chartering aircraft to get people out. That's not possible at the minute from Israel because airspace is, of course, closed.' Israel's airports authority said airspace would reopen from 11am to 5pm GMT (12pm to 6pm UK time) on Sunday for landings only. The airspace has been shut since June 13 and Mr Reynolds even suggested Brits could attempt to cross the border via land before returning to the UK. Asked if chartered flights would happen imminently, Mr Reynolds said: 'I believe our intention would be to do that as soon as possible… hours, not days. As well as that, if people are able to travel across land, we have rapid response teams on the Jordanian and the Egyptian borders. So people are traveling across land to countries where they could feasibly fly out on commercial aircraft.' The Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO says all British Nationals who have already registered via the Register Your Presence portal will automatically be contacted and provided with a link to the booking portal. The FCDO is urging all those interested in flights back to the UK to register their presence now, if not done so already, so that they can receive details. Those with greatest need will be prioritised for flights and all passengers must hold a valid travel document. Non-British immediate family members will require valid visas/permission to enter or remain that was granted for more than six months. The FCDO will contact those who are allocated a seat on the flight directly and British Nationals should not make their way to the airport unless they are contacted. However those eligible for the flights will be expected to pay for their seat – and payment will be taken on registration via the flight booking form. This fee will be refunded to those who are not allocated a seat. This is in line with our approach to previous charter flights from the region. Meanwhile, commercial flights are continuing to operate from Egypt and Jordan, and international land border crossings to these countries remain open. An FCDO spokesperson said: "This is a perilous and volatile moment for the Middle East. The safety of British Nationals in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories continues to be our utmost priority – that's why the UK government is preparing flights to help those wanting to leave. 'Working closely with the Israeli authorities, our staff are continuing to work at pace to assist British Nationals on the ground and ensure they receive the support they need'. It comes after Donald Trump launched US air strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities overnight, including the Fordo facility, which is buried deep underground. US President Mr Trump said the key nuclear sites had been 'completely and fully obliterated'. Sir Keir Starmer urged Iran to return to negotiations and called the country's nuclear programme is a 'grave threat' which the US military action would 'alleviate'. There is understood to have been no UK involvement in the action, which comes after Sir Keir and Foreign Secretary David Lammy had pushed for a diplomatic solution rather than US action which could further destabilise the region. The Prime Minister said: 'Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat. 'The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the region is a priority. We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.' Mr Reynolds added: 'We had proposed a diplomatic course of action, as other European countries have done. The Iranians had rejected that. And I know people will be waking up this morning and they'll be worried. They'll want to know what this means. 'And I do want to give them reassurance that whilst the British government, the UK, has not been involved in these attacks, we have been making extensive preparations for all eventualities, including how we look after British nationals in the region and how we get them out, and the assets we have in the region to protect British infrastructure, British bases, British personnel, if we need to do that. 'But from where we are now, what I think we need to do, as the President, I believe himself has said, is get back around the table. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, but we need a diplomatic process to turn this round.' Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned the attacks 'will have everlasting consequences' and that Tehran 'reserves all options' to retaliate. Iran launched a ballistic missile barrage against Israel in retaliation to the US action. The foreign ministry in Tehran issued a statement condemning 'the United States' brutal military aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities'. It added: 'The Islamic Republic of Iran is resolved to defend Iran's territory, sovereignty, security and people by all force and means against the United States' criminal aggression.'

DWP reviewing six benefits for 'cases of fraud and error'
The DWP's latest report, Fraud and error in the benefit system, details overpayments and underpayments in the welfare system over the 2024 and 2025 financial year. It specifically called out six benefits with the department noting it will be "measuring sample cases from six benefits for 'unfulfilled eligibility' over the current financial year" according to the Daily Record for the next report due in May 2026. These include: Universal Credit Housing Benefit Pension Credit State Pension Personal Independence Payment Disability Living Allowance for children According to the recent report an estimated £9.5 billion was wrongly paid out by the Department through overpayments or underpayments, equating to 3.3% of the total benefits expenditure. This figure is a slight decrease from the previous year's £9.7 billion, which was 3.6%. The DWP previously highlighted: "Sometimes people tell us the wrong information or do not tell us when their circumstances change. Reporting accurate information and providing evidence may change the amount of benefit people are eligible for and in some circumstances, they may be eligible for more money. "However, we cannot calculate the correct amount unless people tell us accurately about their circumstances. This means that people are not eligible for increases in the amount of money they receive until we have the correct information.' The DWP recognises three types of fraud and error, each with their own definition: Fraud These are claims where: Unfulfilled eligibility This is a claimant error, where an overpayment has occurred because the claimant has provided inaccurate or incomplete information. Or failed to report a change in their circumstances, but there is no evidence of fraudulent intent on the claimant's part. Official Error
