“ALDI sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience and concern caused as a result of this recall.”
Frozen food recalls with metal contamination are rare, but not extremely rare.
Last August, Perdue Foods LLC recalled more than 165,000 pounds of frozen chicken nuggets and chicken tenders due to reports of metal contamination.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the recall after “consumer complaints” that chicken nuggets and chicken tenders had embedded metal wires.
Customers affected by the recent ALDI recalls are encouraged to call Bestway Foods Co. at (818) 361-1800 Ext. If you have any questions or concerns, please call 911.
