Company Announcement
Gellert Global Group of Elizabeth, NJ is recalling 8.1 oz packages of ALDI Brand Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap because they may contain undeclared fish (tuna). People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The recalled Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap was distributed in select ALDI retail stores in the states of Connecticut, Washington DC, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, West Virginia.
The product is packaged in a 8.1 oz sealed, microwave-safe plastic wrapper and marked with a BEST IF USED BY DATE of OCT.08.2027.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after a consumer discovered that the fish-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of fish. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging procedures that has subsequently been corrected.
Consumers who have purchased the 8.1 oz packages of ALDI Brand Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-908-351-8000 Monday-Friday 8:30 am-5:00 pm EST or email fsqaincidents@gellertglobalgroup.com.
