Nearly 9,500 pounds of frozen meatballs sold at Aldi stores nationwide are being recalled due to possible metal contamination, federal officials announced.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), Rosina Food Products, Inc., based in West Seneca, New York, is recalling approximately 9,462 pounds of ready-to-eat frozen meatball products.
The recall involves 32-ounce printed poly film bag packages of fully cooked frozen “Bremer Family Size Italian Style Meatballs,” containing about 64 meatballs per package.
The affected products carry a “Best By” date of October 30, 2026, with timestamps between 17:08 and 18:20 printed on the back of the label.
The items were produced on July 30, 2025.
The recalled products bear establishment number “EST. 4286B” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were distributed to Aldi supermarket locations nationwide.
The products have an approximate 15-month shelf life.
The issue was discovered after FSIS received a consumer complaint reporting metal fragments found inside the product.
At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of injuries associated with the recalled meatballs. 
Officials advise anyone concerned about possible injury to contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who purchased the product are urged not to consume it and should either discard it or return it to the place of purchase.
The investigation remains ongoing.
