The discount grocery store has become one of the most popular supermarkets in the United States in recent years. The Dunnhumby Consumer Pulse Survey 2021 found that behind Walmart, customers believe Aldi and Kroger are the best-value supermarkets. But that doesn’t mean that every product sold at Aldi is worth buying. In fact, the company has just recalled one of its popular articles after judging it to be “dangerous for consumption”. Read on to find out what you need to get rid of.

Drew’s Organics launched an investigation after observing a color difference in the dressing after it was made. The product was found to have an imbalanced pH “with potential for microbial growth, including Clostridium botulinum, which makes it unfit for consumption. “

In its recall notice, Aldi says that as of the recall date, September 16, there had been no reported illnesses related to the dressing. Still, they say customers with affected bottles of Aldi Simply Nature Organic Poppy Seed Dressing should “throw it away immediately or return it to their local store for a full refund.”

If you have any further questions about the recall, you can contact Drew’s Organics between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST Monday through Friday at 1-800-228-2980 or by email at [email protected].

The dressing was shipped to Aldis in the following 30 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
