One batch of Aldi Deli Macaroni Salad has been recalled in 15 states after an incorrect label did not include an allergen that potentially could create a danger for people with allergies, federal officials said Friday.
According to a news release from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, Reser’s Fine Foods, a company based in Beaverton, Oregon, issued a voluntary recall.
The company explained that the bottom label for the macaroni salad was actually for coleslaw. The label, therefore, does not reveal the presence of wheat, which could pose a problem for people who have a wheat allergy, the FDA said.
