Aldi’s Listeria Recall: Jalapenos, Green Peppers, and Green Beans Recalled in Few Stores
On 22nd July 2024, Aldi published a press release for recalling certain vegetables contaminated with a bacterial infection called Listeria. If consumed, it is a foodborne germ that can lead to fever and diarrhea.
The recalled products were Jalapeno 8oz bag, Green Pepper 16oz bag and Green Beans 16oz bag. However, this issue is faced by only some Aldi stores. It is mentioned in the Aldi press release that the recall affected Aldi stores located in Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

If you have bought the above-mentioned products, kindly discard them, or you can take them back to the Aldi store from where you purchased them, and you will receive a full refund. If you or your family members have consumed any of the items mentioned above, please visit your doctor and consult them.
The proactive nature of Aldi in recalling harmful products is impressive. They have stated in their press release that ALDI puts the safety and integrity of the products it sells first. Their care and concern for the health and safety of their customers is exactly what we expect from a company during such issues.
Another important fact about this recall is that the recalls are being announced by someone other than Aldi. Brands recalling these products include Save-a-Load, Walmart, Kroger, and many other small and big stores.
If you have bought the recalled items from these places, please contact your store.
How do all these stores have Listeria-infected items?
Well, at the core of this recall incident, Wiers Farms, Inc. This is an Ohio-based company with several operations in the east of Mississippi. This is the company that supplies the above-mentioned veggies to many stores. Hence, any Aldi store or store connected with Wiers Farms has recalled the products.
As per the current information, Trader Joe’s is the only store not affected by the recall.
