Fish at Aldi recalled after fears of contamination 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that Santa Monica Seafood, based in Rancho Dominguez, California, has voluntarily recalled its Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing. The recalled product was distributed to Aldi stores across California, Nevada, and Arizona. Shoppers in these states who recently bought the item are being urged to check the packaging carefully for specific batch details and avoid consuming it due to potential health risks, as reported by The US Sun.

The recall comes after Santa Monica Seafood discovered that portions of the seafood had soy, and consumers had no knowledge of it. Anyone with a soy allergy could suffer anaphylaxis upon consumption. This could result in a life-threatening allergy with difficulty in breathing and swelling of the throat. Some symptoms of soy allergy include hives, stomach cramps, indigestion, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and tightness in your throat.

According to the FDA, the recalled Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing can be identified by a “use by” date of June 2, 2025. This label can be found on the white part of teh label at teh front of teh packaging, just below the image. The issue was identified during a routine label inspection by Santa Monica Seafood, revealing the presence of undeclared soy in the product. 

While no illnesses have been reported, shoppers are advised to return any affected items to ALDI for a full refund or exchange. Customers with concerns or questions can contact Santa Monica Seafood directly for more information.
