What People Are Saying
Aldi, in a statement on the recall page of its website, said: "While ALDI is committed to providing only the best quality at the lowest prices, our top priority is the safety of you and your family. From developing stringent standards to working with trusted manufacturers on product quality and testing, every measure possible is taken to fulfill that promise."
Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, director at New York Allergy & Asthma PLLC, previously told Newsweek: "The difference between someone who is allergic and someone who's not, really, at its core is that an allergic individual can come across something as innocuous as a small amount of the food, egg, peanut, milk, and ingest it. And while a normal person will just digest that and process it, an allergic person actually sees this as a foreign threat. And that triggers the allergic response, which can initially be associated with activation of what we think are these antibodies called IgE antibodies that recognize specifically that piece of food, be it protein or egg protein. And that then triggers these cells, called the mast cells, to release all these inflammatory mediators, like histamine and other kinds of mediators, like nutrients, which can have profound effects."
What Happens Next
Consumers who purchased any recalled Aldi products are advised to cease use and discard them immediately or return them to the store for a full refund.
Those who have experienced illness or an allergic reaction after consuming a recalled product should consult a healthcare professional and report incidents to the FDA's MedWatch program.
Ongoing recalls and updates will be posted on Aldi's official newsroom and at government-linked websites.
