Pieminister apologised for the error

A range of pies has been recalled after being labelled with the wrong use-by date.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the pies, made by Bristol-based Pieminister Kitchens, were incorrectly labelled with a use-by date of 24 June 2026, rather than 2025.

Pieminister's steak and ale, steak and stilton, venison, chicken and mushroom, and jackfruit pies are among the 10 products affected.

The FSA has said the pies are "completely safe to eat" until 24 June this year, but customers can return the recalled pies to the store they bought them from for a refund.

Pieminister apologised for the error, adding: "We are working closely with our technical teams and have implemented additional measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future."

The pies affected are:

  • Pieminister Moo - British beef steak and craft ale pie
  • Pieminister Moo and 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 Free Ranger - free range British chicken and ham pie with leek
  • Pieminister Fungi Chicken - free range British chicken, portobello and chestnut mushroom
  • Pieminister Wild Shroom - portobello and chestnut mushroom pie with asparagus and white wine
  • 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
