- Aldi has recalled over 2,800 cases of its Specially Selected Vanilla Crème Brûlée due to potential contamination with pieces of glass.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) elevated this to a Class II recall on April 28, indicating that consuming the dessert poses a serious health risk.
- The affected crème brûlée, packaged in 3.6-ounce glass jars with a use-by date of May 9, 2026, was sold in Aldi stores across seven states, including Florida, Illinois and Virginia.
- Consumers are urged to either dispose of the dessert immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, despite no illnesses being reported.
- This recall follows other recent food safety alerts, including salmonella-risk dry milk powder in various pizzas sold at Aldi and Walmart, and mislabeled shrimp pasta at Costco, posing an allergy risk.
