Over 500,000 Packs of Aldi Mac & Cheese Recalled Nationwide

More than 500,000 packages of macaroni and cheese sold at Aldi stores nationwide have been recalled due to a potential undeclared allergen, according to federal health officials and manufacturer notices.

The recall involves Park St. Deli Macaroni & Cheese, a refrigerated ready-to-eat side dish produced by BEF Foods, Inc., a division of Bob Evans Farms. The issue stems from the possible presence of soy lecithin, a soy-derived ingredient that was not listed on the product label.

According to recall information, approximately 58,405 cases—totaling more than 525,000 individual 20-ounce containers—are affected by the nationwide action.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified the recall as Class II, meaning consumption of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, particularly for individuals with soy allergies or sensitivities.

The affected product was sold exclusively at Aldi stores and packaged in 20-ounce plastic tubs with a paperboard sleeve. A full list of impacted production codes has been released to help consumers identify whether their purchase is included in the recall.

Health officials warn that individuals with soy allergies could experience reactions ranging from mild symptoms such as nausea or hives to more severe complications in rare cases.

Consumers are urged not to eat the product and instead either discard it or return it to their local Aldi store for a refund.

The manufacturer initiated the voluntary recall in March, with the FDA formally upgrading its classification in June after reviewing the risk level.

At this time, no confirmed illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled product.
