From frozen meals to pantry staples, there are a few active recalls that you should know about right now. Some of these products were sold in popular grocery chains like Aldi, Costco and Walmart across the U.S. Here’s what you need to know and what products you should be checking your kitchen for—plus what to do if you have a recalled food on hand.
Cold & Flu Medicine
Costco recalled their Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion tablets, according to a company announcement earlier this month. This is due to a possible foreign matter contamination.
The affected medicine was sold in Midwest and Southeast warehouse locations, has a printed lot code of P140082 and was sold between October 30, 2024, and November 30, 2024. While the specifics are unclear, consumers are urged to check their cold and flu medications and, if it matches the recall information, throw it away or return to your local Costco for a refund.
If you are experiencing any further illness or injury after consuming the recalled over-the-counter medication, call your healthcare provider as soon as you can. For questions about this recall, call 1-800-426-9391 or email complaints-inquiries@lnkintl.com.
Chicken Broth
About 12,138 cartons of Great Value Chicken Broth are being recalled due to unsecure packaging that can result in spoilage. The chicken broth was sold in Walmart locations across Alabama and Arkansas, and each recalled carton contains a best-by date of March 25, 2026, and UPC 007874206684.
Check your chicken broth, and if it matches the recalled information, dispose of it or return to your local Walmart for a refund. Contact your healthcare provider if you are experiencing illness after consuming this product.
Eggs
While Americans are experiencing their own egg shortage due to the bird flu outbreak, eggs are being recalled across Canada due to a potential Salmonella contamination.
Multiple brands have been impacted by this recall (check the full list of recalled products here) and the affected eggs were sold at retail locations in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and potentially other provinces and territories. While there are no illnesses connected to this recall, Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) can last for up to seven days and can be severe for those who are age 65 or older, immunocompromised, for young children or for pregnant people.
Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. If you’re experiencing signs of illness after consuming the recalled eggs, talk to your doctor immediately. Contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for questions about this recall by calling toll-free at 1-800-442-2342 or emailing information@inspection.gc.ca.
Frozen Chicken Products
Aldi recently recalled over 20,000 pounds of Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. This is due to a foreign matter contamination.
Two consumers reported finding metal in the taquito products, one of which resulted in a dental injury. The affected taquitos contain best-by date “07/03/25” or “09/25/25,” and the carton packaging has a printed establishment number of “EST. P-40327.” If you have the recalled taquitos on hand, return them to your local Aldi for a refund.
Walmart also recalled a frozen chicken product: Bettergoods Chicken Curry Empanadas. The recall followed consumer complaints of misbranding. The chicken empanada packages may actually contain Apple Cinnamon Empanadas instead, resulting in an undeclared allergen on the box.
Recalled boxes have a printed best-by date of “05/21/26” or “05/22/26” and contain establishment number P33967. Those with dairy allergies that eat these recalled empanadas may experience an allergic reaction as severe as anaphylaxis, causing symptoms like hives, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, tightness of the throat, trouble breathing or cardiac arrest. Call 911 immediately if you are showing signs of an allergic reaction.
Pancake Mix
Pearl Milling Company recalled their popular Original Pancake & Waffle Mix sold in grocery stores in 11 states. This product contained undeclared milk, which is a common allergen.
The recalled mix was sold in 32-ounce boxes, contains a printed UPC of “30000 65040” and best by date of September 13, 2025. The affected product was distributed to retailers in the following states: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Utah and Wisconsin.
Check your pantry for this recalled product, and if you have it on hand, return it to your place of purchase or dispose of it as soon as possible. For questions about this recall, contact Pearl Milling Consumer Relations at 1-800-407-2247 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday.
