Consumers have been urged to avoid eating the hotdogs and asked to return them to where they purchased them for a full refund.

“ALDI takes product quality and safety seriously and wishes to advise all customers of a recall of Berg Smallgoods American Style Skinless Hot Dogs 375g with the Use By dates up to and including 28/01/2018,” a post on the ALDI Australia Facebook page reads.

“The product has been available for sale in ALDI stores throughout Australia. The recall is due to the potential risk of illness.

“Customers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full cash refund. We apologise for any inconvenience.”

The Berg American Style skinless hotdogs have been recalled across Australia.

It’s not the first time Berg products have caused headaches for ALDI.

In 2014 the Berg Strassburg and skinless hotdogs were recalled from all stores due to listeria.

Listeria may cause illness in pregnant women and their unborn babies, the elderly and people with low immune systems.

Last year their hot dog buns were recalled after they were found to contain metal shavings.
