Customers are being told to check the "use by" date on the side of the packaging to identify if they have bought the affected pork. If it reads June 30, 2025, or July 1, 2025, do not eat the product.
It should either be thrown away or returned to your Aldi store for a refund.
No injuries have been reported so far but the FSIS have cautioned that this should still be taken seriously.
Cargill Meat Solutions said in a statement to The U.S. Sun: 'We have voluntarily issued a public health alert out of an abundance of caution. The product is no longer available for sale in stores.'
Stressing the importance of food and consumer safety, they have also set up a hotline about the recall for customers to call if they have any questions: 1-844-419-1574.

Poco F7 runs Geekbench with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset
The Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite, respectively. The vanilla model is coming later this month and it will be equipped with another 8-series chip, the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. This can be seen in this Geekbench 6.4.0 scorecard from the Xiaomi 25053PC47G. Focus specifically on the CPU core clock speeds and the GPU, Adreno 825 – the 8s Gen 4 is the only chip with that GPU so far. Poco F7 (25053PC47G) on Geekbench 6.4.0 The first Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powered phones are already out. This includes the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which will be the basis for the vanilla F7. The Redmi has a 6.83' 120Hz 12-bit display, a 50+8MP dual camera and a 7,550mAh battery with 90W wired charging. This phone has 12/16GB of RAM and between 256GB and 1TB storage. Going back to Geekbench, the Poco F7 unit that was tested has 12GB of RAM. Himanshu Tandon, who leads Poco India, posted a poll on June 10 asking 'What should be the ideal starting variant for a powerful device with a flagship level chipset?' The result was overwhelmingly in favor of 12GB. Poco exec hinting at 12GB base RAM capacity The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is fabbed on TSMC's 4nm node (N4P). Like previous 8s chips, this one uses ARM Cortex-based Kryo cores instead of the new Oryon cores seen in 8 Elite and X chips. That's one Cortex-X4 core at 3.2GHz, three A720 cores at 3.0GHz, two A720 at 2.8GHz and two A720 at 2.0GHz. There are no A5xx series cores. Source | Via

Bold hats take centre stage at Royal Ascot
Merve Bayindir carefully glues dried flowers onto a pale pink saucer hat at her London studio. Nearby, an array of other colourful headpieces is on display. The Turkish-born milliner has been busy creating hats for guests attending the annual Royal Ascot racing event, where headwear is a must. "It is the biggest runway. It's the Oscars. It's the Golden Globes... that is what it is for us... milliners, because you can't see that many amazing hats in one spot at the same time for a week," she told Reuters. The horse-racing event takes place in Ascot, just outside London. It begins on 17 June and runs for five days. The event has become as well known for its colourful fashion as for the sport. The various enclosures feature different dress codes — the strictest applies to the royal enclosure. "You have to have a minimum of ten centimetres in diameter on a hat," Bayindir said. "So for the ladies in the royal enclosure, we always say make sure that your hat is not a fascinator," she added, referring to elaborate, decorative headpieces often fixed on a band or clip. For the Queen Anne and village enclosures, hats, headpieces, or fascinators are permitted. Bayindir said designs in pale pink and blue are annual staples, with fuchsia, sage green, and lilac also proving popular lately. As for size, the bigger, the better. "It doesn't matter who you are; you can be the star and take that chance and be outrageous," she said. "Royal Ascot itself has a very big personality. So you need to support that big personality and be part of it if you want to really enjoy the environment." © Thomson Reuters 2025 All rights reserved.
