Overview

  • BEF Foods initiated a recall in March of Park St. Deli Macaroni & Cheese after discovering soy lecithin was present but not listed on the product label, which can harm people with soy allergies.
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration upgraded the recall to a Class II on June 10, prompting public notices and heightened regulatory oversight.
  • The recall covers 58,405 cases, equal to 525,645 individual 20‑ounce tubs, and the product was sold exclusively in Aldi refrigerated aisles nationwide.
  • Consumers should check the FDA notice for affected product codes and may return tubs to Aldi for a full refund; the FDA has not reported any illnesses linked to the product so far.
  • The episode underscores recurring problems in prepared‑food labeling and traceability, which can leave undeclared allergens in finished items and raise risks for people with severe allergies.
