Reser’s Fine Foods voluntarily recalled ALDI Deli Macaroni Salad because the incorrect label was placed on its container and the label does not disclose a wheat allergen. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) reported the recall on May 17.
As you can see below, the FDA shared an image of the recalled product—it is mislabeled as Coleslaw, but the product is macaroni salad. The recalled product is sold in a 32-ounce container and has a use-by date of June 3, 2024. The macaroni salads were distributed to ALDI locations in AL, CT, FL, GA, LA, MA, MS, NC, NH, NY, RI, SC, TN, VA, and VT.
