Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BCI Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 3,304 pounds of Chef's Cupboard brand meat and poultry soup products because they were not presented for import re-inspection when they entered the United States. The recall affects four varieties of canned soup sold at Aldi stores, including Classic Homestyle Chicken & Wild Rice, Italian-Style Wedding, Chunky Beef with Country Vegetables, and Chunky Sirloin Burger with Country Vegetables. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported to date, but the products lack the necessary USDA safety inspection checks. You should check your pantry for these cans and either return them to the store or throw them away.

Risk

These products were imported without required USDA re-inspection, meaning their safety and compliance with U.S. food standards have not been verified. This poses a potential risk to consumers as the product was produced without the benefit of import inspection.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for 19-oz. cans of Chef's Cupboard Classic Homestyle Chicken & Wild Rice with a 'BB/MA 2021 MR 04' date and code 'EST 142 602 19 064' on the bottom.
  2. Check for 19-oz. cans of Chef's Cupboard Classic Homestyle Italian-Style Wedding with Meatballs & Chicken with a 'BB/MA 2021 MR 03' date and code 'EST 142 603 19 063' on the bottom.
  3. Check for 18.8-oz. cans of Chef's Cupboard Chunky Beef with Country Vegetables with a 'BB/MA 2020 SE 25' date and code 'EST 142 613 18 269' on the bottom.
  4. Check for 18.8-oz. cans of Chef's Cupboard Chunky Sirloin Burger with Country Vegetables with a 'BB/MA 2021 FE 18' date and code 'EST 142 614 19 049' on the bottom.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact BCI Foods Inc. at (416) 882-3513 for further instructions.
