THURSDAY, March 19, 2026 — Frozen spinach bites sold at Aldi are being pulled from shelves after a possible contamination issue, federal health officials said.

The recall involves Simply Nature Spinach Bites, which may contain rodent hair.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the issue led to a Class II recall, meaning the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.

The recall was initiated on Jan. 16, and the FDA updated its classification on March 16.

The products were made by Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods Inc., based in New Jersey, Allrecipes reported.

The affected spinach bites were sold in 12-ounce boxes and packaged in plastic inside the box. They can be identified by:

  • Lot number: G25CF-02B
  • Product number: AL-SP
  • UPC: 4099100247992
  • Nearly 8,000 units were distributed in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

    The FDA did not issue specific instructions, but people are usually advised not to eat recalled products.

    Items should be thrown away or returned to the store for a refund.
