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.

Aldi Recall Alert: Hidden Allergens in Two Products Sold in 16 States
If you've shopped at Aldi recently, it might be time to double-check your freezer. The budget grocery giant has issued two new food recalls affecting 16 states. The recall comes after potential allergen risks were discovered in products sold under its private label brands. The first recall involves Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the product may contain undeclared milk, a major allergen. The affected churro bites come in 7.05-ounce cardboard boxes marked with UPC Code 4061459561807 and a "Best If Used By" date of July 14, 2026. While no illnesses have been reported, customers with milk allergies are advised not to consume the product and instead return it to Aldi for a full refund. This product was distributed in 13 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The second recall affects Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing, manufactured by Santa Monica Seafood. This item was sold in 16-ounce packages with UPC Code 4061459716313 and a use/freeze-by date of June 2, 2025. It was distributed to Aldi locations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. The product may contain undeclared soy, another top allergen that can cause serious reactions for sensitive individuals. For customers with food allergies, these undeclared ingredients pose a serious health risk. Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, a New York-based allergist, explained to Newsweek that even trace amounts of allergens like milk or soy can trigger immune responses in susceptible individuals. They could lead to potentially life-threatening reactions. Aldi emphasized its commitment to consumer safety in a statement, directing concerned customers to their recall page and offering full refunds on returned products. Whether you have known allergies or not, it's worth taking a moment to check your fridge and freezer. Recalls like these are a reminder of how vital food labeling and consumer awareness are, especially when it comes to the ingredients we can't see.

Popular Aldi snack recalled due to potential ‘life-threatening' allergen
Aldi is recalling one of its sweet treats due to the presence of an undeclared allergen. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice on Tuesday to announce that Camerican International was recalling 7.05 oz boxes of Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream. The recall was issued because the Aldi brand snack may contain undeclared milk, so consumers with an allergy or 'severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction,' per the FDA. The recalled churro bites were distributed at Aldi stores in 13 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The 7.05 oz cardboard boxes are marked with a 'Best If Used By' date of July 14, 2025, and the Lot Number '01425.' According to the FDA, the recall was initiated after a 'consumer discovered that the milk-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk.' A subsequent investigation revealed the mistake was a result of a 'temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes,' which has since been corrected. However, there have been no illnesses reported to date due to this product. Consumers are now urged to return the churro bites to the place of purchase for a full refund. This isn't the first time Aldi food item to be recalled recently. In May, Santa Monica Seafood of Rancho Dominguez, California, issued a voluntary recall on its Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing because they may have contained undeclared soy. The affected salmon portions were sold in three states: California, Nevada, and Arizona. The products were sold in 16-ounce packages and had a use/freeze-by date of June 2, 2025. The last two years have also seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed. Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from food-borne illnesses in 2023. Earlier in May, cucumbers sold across the country were recalled after people in 15 states reported getting ill from salmonella. Florida-based Bedner Growers, Inc. recalled the vegetables distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc. from April 29 to May 19.
