Four varieties of Chef’s Cupboard brand soups sold at Aldi stores in Pennsylvania and New York are being recalled by BCI Foods, Inc., of Canada. The food was not inspected when it was brought into the United States from Canada, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Aldi US is not conducting the recall. The recall is through BCI Foods, Inc. The items were imported on July 17, 2019.
