The manufacturer is recalling a number of its pies over safety fears
A selection of pies have been pulled from shelves after they were stamped with an incorrect use-by date, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced. Pieminister Kitchens’ range was mistakenly marked to be good until June 24, 2026, not 2025 as intended.
Pieminister assured consumers that the pies were produced recently at its Bristol bakery and are fine to enjoy until the correct date, June 24.
The firm regretted the ‘technical issue’ and said: “We are working closely with our technical teams and have implemented additional measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.”
Products affected, identifiable by the wrong date 24.06.2026 on the packaging, are various types of Pieminister’s pies, including names like Moo, Kate and Sidney, Deer and Beer, and Fungi Chicken.
Customers are being told by the FSA that they should avoid eating the pies past the proper use-by date and can return them to the purchase location for a refund.
The FSA said: “Pieminister Kitchens is recalling various Pieminister pies as they have been labelled with an incorrect use-by date. The products have been labelled with use-by June 24, 2026, instead of use-by June 24, 2025. The products are therefore not safe to eat beyond their intended use-by of June 24 this year.”
