Aldi recalls thousands of shredded cheese packs for possible metal contamination
Aldi has issued a voluntary recall on 5,000 cheese pouches for possible metal contamination.
The impacted products include 400 cases of Happy Farm's Colby Jack Deli Sliced Cheese filled with 12 plastic pouches of blended Colby and Monterey cheese slices each.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this product may contain stainless steel fragments, and exposure to such contaminants could cause temporary health risks. It's unclear how the potential metal products got in the cheese.
The cases were sold across Ohio, Connecticut, Michigan and Pennsylvania with expiration dates of July 13 and July 14, 2025, and a bar code of 4061463330840.
At this time, the status of the recall is 'ongoing.'
Aldi's recall comes after Nestlé U.S. issued its voluntary recall on a limited supply of Stouffer's and Lean Cuisine meals due to the potential presence of 'wood-like material.'
The food conglomerate previously said the recalled products had been distributed 'at major retailers' between September 2024 and March 2025. The recalled meals include: Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli, Lean Cuisine Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, Lean Cuisine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry, and Stouffer's Party Size Chicken Lasagna.
All meals were made between August 2024 and March 2025.
Any meals that do not have the following batch numbers listed under the announcement are not included in the recall. You can find the affected batch numbers here.
Nestlé said the company launched an investigation after consumers contacted them to report multiple issues — one involving a potential choking incident.
According to the food giant, customers should dispose of or return the potentially contaminated food products to receive a full refund.
'We are actively investigating the source of the wood-like material. We are confident that this is an isolated issue, and we have taken action to address it,' the company said.
'We are working with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture on this recall and will cooperate with them fully,' the statement continued. 'The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our number one priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers.'
In January, a recall on packages of smoked salmon sold at Costco was updated to the highest risk level by the FDA, meaning there was a reasonable probability that use or exposure to the fish would 'cause serious adverse health consequences or death.'
Acme Smoked Fish Corporation first issued a recall for 111 cases of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon in October 2024 due to contamination with the disease-causing bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.
There were no reported illnesses when the recall was initially issued.
The FDA upgraded the risk level after the product was no longer sold in stores because some consumers still had the product in their freezers, according to ConsumerAffairs.

Michigan-based Lipari Foods is recalling its 14-ounce packages of JLM Branded 'Dark Chocolate Nonpareils" as they may contain "undeclared milk," per an announcement posted on the FDA's website on Friday, June 20. 'People who have allergies to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,' the announcement said. According to the FDA, the Dark Chocolate Nonpareils were distributed nationwide and also come in 14-ounce clear plastic tubs. The tubs in question will be marked with one of the following lot numbers on the label: 28202501A, 29202501A, 23202504A, 14202505A, 15202505A or 03202506A. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the recall, per the FDA. The organization additionally said that the recall occurred after Lipari Foods was notified of the error by the Pennsylvania-based Weaver Nut Company, which distributes and manufactures candy and nuts. The FDA is urging customers who have purchased the 14-ounce packages to return them to the place of purchase 'for a full refund.' PEOPLE reached out to Lipari Foods for comment on Saturday, June 21, but did not receive an immediate response.
