ALDI is yanking its Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap from some freezer cases after the product’s maker warned the packs may contain undeclared tuna. The affected item is sold in 8.1‑ounce sealed packages marked with a Best If Used By date of Oct. 08, 2027 and was shipped to stores across multiple states, including New York. People with tuna or other fish allergies face a serious risk if they eat the product.
Company notice and basics
Gellert Global Group of Elizabeth, N.J., announced the recall on July 2, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The agency’s post names the product and package size, notes that no illnesses have been reported so far, and shows the Best If Used By date printed on the package. Gellert Global Group provided a consumer hotline and an email address for questions and told shoppers to return affected packages for a full refund.
How the mix-up happened
“The recall was initiated after a consumer discovered that the fish-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of fish,” the company wrote in its announcement posted to the FDA. Company investigators told regulators the error came from a temporary breakdown in production and packaging procedures that the firm says has been corrected. The FDA post again lists a consumer contact number, 1‑908‑351‑8000, and an email, [email protected], for anyone with questions.
Where it was sold
The recall covers select ALDI retail stores in 19 states, including New York, as reported by News 12 New York. The kimbap was marketed as a ready‑to‑heat frozen snack under the Fusia Asian Inspirations label, and shoppers are urged to check the back panels for the Best If Used By date and the package weight. If you spot the marked 8.1‑ounce pack in your freezer, do not eat it.
What shoppers should do
If anyone in your household has a fish allergy, skip this product entirely and check freezer cases for the recalled package. ALDI maintains a product recalls page for shoppers who want more information and guidance on returns and refunds, and customers can also contact the manufacturer at the number listed in the company announcement. Those who have eaten the product and develop allergic symptoms, such as hives, swelling or difficulty breathing, should seek emergency medical care immediately.
Context and past labeling errors
This is not the first time products sold under the Fusia Asian Inspirations label have been pulled for undeclared allergens. In October 2025, Fusia veggie spring rolls were recalled for possible shrimp contamination, according to FoodAllergy.org. Regulators and allergy groups say packing and labeling mistakes can be especially dangerous because they leave people with allergies no reliable way to avoid a trigger, and they encourage retailers and makers to tighten checks after incidents like this one.
