Urgent recall of dark chocolate almonds over 'life-threatening' health risk
Dark chocolate-covered almonds have been recalled in the US because they may contain another nut not declared on labels. The American supermarket chain Meijer is recalling some packages of its Frederik's Dark Chocolate Almonds as they could also contain dark chocolate-covered cashews. 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashews run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product,' states an announcement published Monday by the nation's agency ensuring food, drugs and products are safe for the public. The affected almonds came in black stand-up pouches with sell by dates of May 7, 2026, or May 28, 2026, and eight-count, 1.5-ounce multi-pack boxes with the sell by date of May 5, 2026. They were sold at Meijer stores in six states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Meijer initiated the recall after being notified of the issue by a customer. There have not been any reports of customers becoming sick from eating the almonds. Customers who are allergic or sensitive to cashews should return the item at any Meijer store for a full refund. Anyone with health concerns should contact a doctor, and those with questions on the recall should reach out to the supermarket chain. More Trending Meijer is a family-operated and privately owned company with more than 500 grocery stores and supercenters across the Midwest. 'As the pioneer of the one-stop shopping concept, more than 70,000 Meijer team members work hard to deliver a friendly, seamless in-store and online shopping experience featuring an assortment of fresh foods, high-quality apparel, household essentials, and health and wellness products and services,' states the company's advisory shared by the US Food and Drug Administration.

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. Aldi Recall Alert: Hidden Allergens in Two Products Sold in 16 States first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025

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.

FDA Announces Recall on Popular Aldi Product for Undeclared Life-Threatening Allergen
Select boxes of a popular Casa Mamita product sold at Aldi stores in 13 states have been recalled, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Aldi's Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream have been recalled because they may contain an undeclared milk allergen. Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream sold at Aldi stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee are impacted by this recall. The recalled product was sold in a 7.05-ounce cardboard box and has the lot number 01425 and 'Best If Used By' date of July 14, 2025, on the label. You can find product images on the FDA's site. No other Casa Mamita or Aldi products are impacted by this recall. The churro bites were recalled because the product contains milk, but the allergy warning for milk is not printed on the box, which the FDA requires. Camerican International, the maker of the recalled Casa Mamita product, has identified the issue as due to a 'temporary breakdown' in the processing and packaging, which has since been resolved. If you have a milk allergy, you should not consume the product as it can cause serious or life-threatening reactions for those with milk allergies or intolerances. Instead, you can throw it away or return it to your Aldi store for a full refund. As of this writing, there have not been any reports of allergic reactions or illnesses caused by consuming the Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream. If you don't have a milk allergy, you do not have to do anything regarding this recall. The product was recalled due to a labeling error and not because it is inherently unsafe to eat. For any questions regarding the recall, you can contact Camerican International directly at 1-201-587-0101 or fsqaincidents@ Read the original article on ALLRECIPES
