Metal Fragments Found: Aldi Meatballs Recalled in Michigan

Michigan, we need to talk about your spaghetti night. Nearly 9,500 pounds of meatballs sold at Aldi stores nationwide, including right here in The Mitten State, are being recalled after reports of metal fragments inside the product. Yes. Metal. As in, not oregano.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its Food Safety and Inspection Service, New York-based Rosina Food Products is recalling 9,462 pounds of ready-to-eat frozen "Bremer FAMILY SIZE ITALIAN STYLE MEATBALLS." The issue surfaced after a consumer found metal pieces mixed in with their dinner. That is not the kind of iron supplement anyone asked for.

They were shipped to Aldi locations nationwide, meaning Michigan shoppers from Detroit to Grand Rapids could have them sitting next to the ice cream and your emergency loaf of garlic bread.

What Michigan Families Should Do

Thankfully, so far, there are no confirmed injuries. Still, the USDA says don't eat them. Toss them or return them to Aldi for a refund. Meatballs should be tender, saucy, and comforting. Not magnetic.
