Popular Frozen Item Sold At Indiana Aldi Stores May Contain Metal

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall of nearly 10,000 pounds of frozen meatballs sold at Aldi stores due to concerns of metal contamination.

FSIS received a customer complaint about finding metal fragments in their meatballs, which led to the Class 1 recall—the highest possible designation the agency assigns to recalled products. A Class 1 recall means that there is “a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death,” according to the agency.
