Metal fragments found in frozen meatballs sold at Aldi stores nationwide prompts recall
Federal regulators announced Sunday a recall of nearly 9,500 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat meatballs over potential metal fragment contamination.
The recall affects New York–based Rosina Food Products' Italian-styled meatballs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said.
"Rosina Food Products, Inc., a West Seneca, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 9,462 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) frozen meatball products that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal," regulators said.
The issue was discovered after a consumer reported finding metal fragments in the meatballs. There have been no reports of confirmed injuries, but the department said anyone concerned should contact a healthcare provider.

The recall applies to 32-ounce bags of fully cooked, frozen "Bremer FAMILY SIZE ITALIAN STYLE MEATBALLS," which contain about 64 meatballs per package.
The products were produced on July 30, 2025, and have a 15-month shelf-life, according to officials.
