Nearly 9,500 pounds of frozen meatballs sold at Aldi stores nationwide are being recalled due to possible metal contamination, federal food safety officials said Sunday.
Rosina Food Products Inc., based in West Seneca, New York, is recalling about 9,462 pounds of ready-to-eat fully cooked frozen meatball products, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The recall involves 32-ounce bags of “Bremer Family Size Italian Style Meatballs,” containing about 64 meatballs per package, with a “Best By” date of Oct. 30, 2026, and timestamps between 17:08 and 18:20 printed on the back label. The products bear establishment number “EST. 4286B” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The meatballs were produced July 30, 2025, and have a 15-month shelf life. They were shipped to Aldi supermarket locations nationwide.
The issue was discovered after FSIS received a consumer complaint reporting metal fragments found in the product. There have been no confirmed reports of injury related to the recall.
Consumers who purchased the affected meatballs are urged not to eat them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
FSIS said it is concerned some products may still be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers and will conduct recall effectiveness checks to ensure the items are removed from store shelves.
