ASDA recalls Mini Duck Spring Rolls after wrong “use‑by” date: what you need to know

Budget supermarket Asda has issued a national recall of its 10 Mini Duck Spring Rolls with Hoisin Dip (220 g packs), after the product was found to be labelled with an incorrect use‑by date — a mistake that could pose serious food‑safety risks. Food Standards Agency+1

The affected packs list a use‑by date of 29 December 2025, but the correct date should have been 29 November 2025 — a full month earlier. Because of this labelling error, the product has been classified as “unsafe to consume” after the correct date. Food Standards Agency+1

As a result, Asda is asking anyone who has purchased the affected spring rolls with the “29 Dec” use‑by date to dispose of them or return them to store for a full refund — no receipt needed. All stores are now displaying point‑of‑sale notices about the recall. Food Standards Agency+1

Even though duck spring rolls are often frozen or chilled party foods — sometimes stored long‑term — the incorrect label could lead to consumption after the product’s safe period, increasing the risk of food poisoning. The UK food regulator Food Standards Agency (FSA) warns that once the proper use‑by date passes, the product should not be eaten, cooked, or frozen again. Food Standards Agency+1

As shoppers enter the festive season and stock up on party foods, this recall serves as a timely reminder to double‑check the use‑by dates on chilled and frozen goods — especially after recalls or packaging errors. If you bought the spring rolls, check the date carefully before eating, and return affected packs for a refund. It’s a small step to stay safe — and keep your winter celebrations worry‑free.
