A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know
A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Beef tallow becoming the hottest food trend was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. Everywhere you look these days, the byproduct of cooked cow's kidney and loin meat is being touted as a miracle fat worthy of both frying the best French fries you've ever had and slathering on your face as part of a game-changing skincare routine. Restaurants are switching to using it in favor of seed oils, and there are even protein bars chock-full of the stuff, but how did we get here? Can it really hydrate your skin better than Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream, and is it really better than using seed oils? 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 The jury's still out on both of those claims, but that hasn't stopped influencers and government officials alike from singing its praises as the equivalent of this century's gold rush. Never mind the fact that beef tallow was heavily abandoned during the early 90s due to its high concentration of saturated fat, or the fact that there is no real scientific evidence that suggests that beef tallow has any actual benefits for your skin. Sure, everything is fine in moderation, and you can bet it'll make for some finger-licking good fries, but it probably won't cure your hyperpigmentation, will, however, make you smell like a burger, and if that sounds like a plus, by all means, you do you. Of course, you might second-guess reaching for that giant tub of beef fat when you see that the FDA has issued a nationwide recall on beef tallow and pork lard products due to claims that products distributed across the country were not inspected by the USDA. Sulu Organics, LLC., a distributor in Illinois, issued a recall on 6,166 pounds of its products after several consumer complaints were made to FSIS claiming that the products did not bear the USDA inspection mark. Upon further investigation, FSIS determined that the distributor purchased the products from a regulated facility and repackaged the products into smaller containers that were relabeled without FSIS inspections. Although there have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions, consumers are urged to discard any affected products or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.

Aldi's £7 plumping cream is 90% cheaper than Tatcha's but claims similar results– we test it
Aldi's latest £7 Plumping Face Cream believes it can take on Tatcha's hero £67 Dewy Skin Cream – but can it? Our head of beauty finds out As a beauty journalist with 12 years of experience in skincare, I've tested more moisturisers than I can count – and yet, few have earned a permanent spot on my own bathroom shelf. One that has? Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream. It's rich, indulgent and when my skin is having a bad day, I know I can smother it in this moisturiser and it will be nursed back to health. I've loved it for years, and it's become something of a gold standard in my routine. I know this is the same for a lot of people, too. So when Aldi popped a pot of its latest skincare launch – the new Lacura Plumping Face Cream – on my desk, promising hydration, radiance and a price tag that doesn't make you wince, I was all ears. Aldi's been quietly building a reputation for creating impressive beauty *alternatives*, shall we say, and I was curious: could this budget buy really stand up to a cult classic like Tatcha? With Tatcha's cream retailing for £67 and Aldi's up for grabs for £6.99, it makes the supermarket moisturiser around 90% cheaper. And with everything costing more at the moment, and all of us looking for ways to cut back and save, I've taken it as my personal duty to compare the two buys to see if there really is a difference in formulas and results. Let's dive into both of the ingredient lists first... Aldi Plumping Face Cream – key benefits Hydrates and plumps with hyaluronic acid Softens and protects skin using squalane Brightens and evens tone with violet rice extract Simple, minimal formula with few potential irritants Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream – key benefits Deep hydration and skin barrier support with hyaluronic acid, squalane and silk protein Brightening and anti-ageing from rice ferment, ginseng and multiple plant extracts Luxurious texture and glow-enhancing finish with gold, dimethicone and botanical oils Traditional Japanese ingredients for a luxurious skin experience So, does Aldi's cream live up? Both Aldi's Plumping Face Cream and Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream share three key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, squalane, and rice-derived extracts. Hyaluronic acid helps deeply hydrate and plump the skin, while squalane provides lightweight moisture and supports the skin barrier. Both also use rice-based ingredients to brighten and improve skin tone—Aldi includes violet rice extract, while Tatcha uses fermented rice filtrate and rice bran extract. That said, Tatcha's hero moisturiser is the more luxurious formula, offering a wide range of concentrated ingredients and skin benefits beyond hydration– including anti-ageing, brightening and skin barrier support. Aldi's cream is definitely a solid, budget-friendly alternative that focuses on hydration and simplicity, making it a great choice for sensitive or low-maintenance routines. If you're looking for high-end results and indulgence, Tatcha wins. For everyday hydration without the splurge, Aldi delivers well. As someone who has tried both moisturisers, I can solidly say I do prefer Tatcha. It makes my skin feel incredibly soft and plump, while Aldi's did the job at moisturising, but was heavily fragranced and less indulgent. However, as a beauty journalist who is incredibly lucky to receive samples, it's easy for me to say I'd stick with the £67 cream, but if I were saving money or needing to stock up on several beauty products at once, I'd be more than happy to save some pounds and coat my skin in Aldi's moisturiser instead. You can shop Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream for £67 or pick up Lacura's new spring skincare collection in Aldi stores now, including this Plumping Face Cream for £6.99 while stock lasts.
