According to a press release, the item in question is the 16oz. Aldi brand Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing. The product date code can be found on the white portion of the label located on the front of the package, beneath the product image.

The supplier identified the problem during a routine inspection of label proofs from a completed production batch. This recall was initiated because the product contains soy, a known allergen, but the packaging does not list it as an ingredient. This labeling error means that individuals with a soy allergy may unknowingly consume the product.

This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Consumers who purchased Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing from Aldi are urged to return the product to the store for a full refund. For questions, consumers may contact Santa Monica Seafood at 1-800-969-8862, Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm PST.
