Aldi Macaroni and Cheese Recalled Over Undeclared Soy in More Than 500,000 Packs

The FDA's Class II designation warns the product may cause temporary, medically reversible harm to people with soy allergies so shoppers should check codes before returning or discarding affected tubs.

Overview

  • BEF Foods first voluntarily pulled Park St. Deli Macaroni & Cheese in late March, which the FDA upgraded to a Class II recall on June 10.
  • The recall covers 58,405 cases, equal to 525,645 individual 20‑oz refrigerated tubs sold exclusively at Aldi stores nationwide.
  • The issue is undeclared soy lecithin, a major allergen added during production that was not listed on the product label.
  • Consumers should not eat affected tubs and may return them to Aldi or discard them; the FDA recall notice lists specific product codes to identify impacted packages.
  • No illnesses are reported so far but people with soy allergies face real risk, and the large recall highlights ongoing labeling and traceability gaps in prepared refrigerated foods.
