The FDA Is Warning Shoppers About This Aldi Cheese Recalled From Ohio And 3 Other States

The FDA Is Warning Shoppers About This Aldi Cheese Recalled From Ohio And 3 Other States

Yahoo21-03-2025

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently got involved with a voluntary Aldi cheese recall. In February, Great Lakes Cheese Co. Inc. initiated a recall of Aldi's Happy Farms Colby Jack cheese for the potential unintended presence of stainless steel fragments. But as of March 19, the recall was upgraded to the FDA's Class II categorization, indicating that exposure to the fragments carries little chance of "serious adverse health consequences," but may still "cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," per the FDA website.
The recall affects 12 oz., flexible plastic stand-up pouches of finely shredded Colby Jack cheese from Happy Farms by Aldi, with batch number 8679653 and item number 170374. The recalled cheese also has the UPC code 4061463330840, and best-by dates between July 13 and July 14, 2025.
The potentially contaminated cheese was sold exclusively by Aldi in only four states: Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Aldi customers who bought Happy Farms Colby Jack from outside one of these four states should be in the clear.

Stainless steel fragments like those that could potentially contaminate the affected cheese should not be eaten. When swallowed, even tiny pieces of stainless steel pose an injury risk from the second they enter your mouth, all the way through your digestive system. As the FDA indicated, severe injury is unlikely, which is why this has not reached a class I recall. Although small cuts in the esophagus from stainless steel fragments might not be considered "serious adverse health consequences," it's a painful and potentially bloody annoyance that's best avoided.
If you have the recalled cheese at home, do not eat it. You can either return the cheese with proof of purchase to your local Aldi for a refund or simply throw away the cheese. Luckily, shoppers seeking a new bag of Happy Farms Colby Jack should be in the clear since this initial recall is weeks old and Aldi long ago removed any affected products from its shelves.
Unfortunately for Aldi, this is not the only recent recall it's weathered. The grocer was the center of several listeria-related recalls at the end of 2024 -- one of which also targeted cheese. But the limited exposure of these affected products, and minimal risk of serious injury, should help keep it from joining the ranks of recalls that will forever haunt Aldi.

Mesoblast Maintains Momentum With FDA on Accelerated Approval Pathway for Revascor® in Ischemic Heart Failure and Label Extension for Ryoncil® in Adults With GvHD

NEW YORK, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesoblast (Nasdaq:MESO; ASX:MSB), global leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today provided an update on continued momentum with United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding both accelerated approval pathway for Revascor® (rexlemestrocel-L) in the treatment of patients with ischemic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and inflammation, and label extension for Ryoncil® (remestemcel-L-rknd) in adults with steroid refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD). In the first week of June, Mesoblast held a Type B meeting with FDA under its Regenerative Medicines Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for REVASCOR to discuss components of a potential filing for a Biologics License Application (BLA). There was general alignment on items regarding chemistry, manufacturing & controls (CMC), potency assays for commercial product release, and proposed design and primary endpoint for the confirmatory trial post-approval. The Company will await the final minutes from FDA in order to provide detailed feedback and timelines for potential filing. In early July, Mesoblast has an upcoming meeting with FDA to discuss a pivotal trial of Ryoncil® in adults with SR-aGvHD. This trial will be conducted with the NIH-funded Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT-CTN), the objective being to extend the product's label from children to adults with SR-aGvHD. Ryoncil® is the first and only mesenchymal stromal cell product approved by the FDA for any indication. Ryoncil® became commercially available for purchase in the United States on March 28, 2025, within one quarter of receiving FDA approval to treat children with SR-aGvHD. More than 20 transplant centers will have been onboarded by the end of the quarter, exceeding the company's expectations at product launch. Mesoblast has continued to expand coverage for Ryoncil® to over 220 million US lives insured by commercial and government payers. To date, 37 of the 51 States provide fee-for-service Medicaid coverage for Ryoncil® through Orphan Drug Lists or medical exception / prior authorization (PA) process. The remainder will come online July 1, 2025, with mandatory coverage for all 24 million lives. 'We are very pleased with the momentum of interactions with FDA on both our cardiac and GvHD programs,' said Mesoblast Chief Executive Dr. Silviu Itescu. 'We are also encouraged by the strength of the of the Ryoncil® commercial launch, the rate of hospital onboarding, physician adoption, and payor coverage exceeding our expectations in the ten weeks since commercial launch. We will be providing an update on sales of Ryoncil® in our quarterly activities report at the end of next month.'
