Millions of customers have been impacted by recent food recalls at Aldi stores in the United States, with several instances of metal and plastic contamination reported in various products.

Chicken strips with metal (again): This time it was J&J Snack Foods Corp., which supplied frozen pocket sandwiches to Aldi, that recalled 56,578 pounds of products due to the presence of plastic in some lots.

Kraft Singles with stuck-on plastic: In September 2023, Kraft Heinz recalled 83,800 cases of Kraft Singles due to an equipment issue at a processing center that caused strips of plastic to stick to the cheese slices.
-
American cheese slices with plastic wrappers not separating: Same recall as above, but this one specifically mentions Aldi’s involvement in helping Kraft Heinz recall the problematic product.

Pocket sandwiches with plastic: In 2019, J&J Snack Foods Corp., which supplied frozen pocket sandwiches to Aldi, recalled two varieties of Bremer Classic sandwiches due to reports of plastic found in some products.
