Aldi Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing recall: Undeclared allergen - soy

Undeclared allergen - soy

The hazard: Undeclared soy

An undeclared allergen — soy — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Why it matters: The label does not declare soy, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing

What the company announced

May 24, 2025, Santa Monica Seafood of Rancho Dominguez, CA , is voluntarily recalling Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing because it may contain undeclared soy. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing were distributed in California, Nevada, and Arizona at Aldi Stores. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Product Details:

  • Product Name: Atlantic salmon portions with seafood stuffing · Brand: Aldi · Size: 16oz · Use/Freeze By: Jun.02.25

The product date code can be found on the white portion of the label located on the front of the package, beneath the product image.

The supplier identified the problem during a routine inspection of label proofs from a completed production batch. This recall was initiated because the product contains soy, a known allergen, but the packaging does not list it as an ingredient. This labeling error means that individuals with a soy allergy may unknowingly consume the product.

This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Consumers who purchased Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing from Aldi are urged to return the product to the store for a full refund. For questions, consumers may contact Santa Monica Seafood at 1-800-969-8862, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST.

What to do about Soy

Aldi — An undeclared allergen — soy — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids soy, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  3. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  4. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who purchased Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing from Aldi are urged to return the product to the store for a full refund.
