- Summary of recall: Aldi has issued a voluntary recall for its Specially Selected Vanilla Crème Brûlée dessert due to potential glass contamination. The recall covers a limited batch and seven states, and is classified as a Class II recall by the FDA, meaning exposure could cause temporary or reversible health issues but is not expected to cause serious injury. [sources in my notes indicate the recall was issued in early May 2026 with use-by dates around May 9, 2026]
