If your dessert plans involved Aldi's Specially Selected Vanilla Crème Brûlée, you might want to hit pause. Single-serve cups of the frozen treat have been recalled after the manufacturer warned that some may contain glass fragments. The product, sold in New York, is part of a Class II recall launched by Lactalis Canada, covering roughly 2,869 cases with a best-before date of May 9, 2026. Shoppers are being urged to check their freezers and skip eating any crème brûlée that matches the listed codes. Retailers and the manufacturer say the move is precautionary while officials look into how the possible contamination happened.
How To Spot The Recalled Crème Brûlée
The recall targets Specially Selected Vanilla Crème Brûlée sold in single-serve glass ramekins, so start there, then check the fine print. Look for UPC 4099100342826 and product number 710298-4099100342826, with a "Best Before" date of 2026-05-09, according to PIX11. The desserts come wrapped in a cardboard overwrap that carries the barcode and lot information, and only items that match those details are part of the recall. If you find an affected cup at home, do not eat it and keep it separate from other food.
Where It Was Sold And Who Pulled It
Lactalis Canada initiated the voluntary recall after reporting possible glass contamination during production, and news coverage says the affected cases were shipped to Aldi stores in New York, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, and Virginia. Reporting notes that the FDA's enforcement listing cites about 2,869 cases and categorizes the action as a Class II recall. Customers can bring the product back to Aldi for a refund or simply dispose of it, according to AOL.
What A Class II Recall Means For Shoppers
Under FDA guidance, a Class II recall covers situations where using or being exposed to the product "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences" and where the chance of serious harm is considered remote. If you suspect someone may have swallowed glass or is showing concerning symptoms, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 or visit Poison Help for immediate advice. Hold on to the packaging or lot information if you can, since that helps health officials and the retailer confirm whether a product is part of the recall.
