FDA Allergy Alert: Aldi Fusia Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap May Contain Undeclared Tuna—What to Check at Home
If you shop Aldi and keep frozen or refrigerated meal kits on hand, take 2 minutes today to check your package: the FDA issued a company allergy alert for Aldi Brand Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap because it may contain undeclared tuna (a fish allergen).
What to do right now: If anyone in your household has a fish/tuna allergy, do not eat this product. Follow the return/disposal instructions in the FDA alert and contact the retailer/company as the notice directs.
What FDA is saying to check
The FDA safety alert states that Gellert Global Group is issuing an allergy alert for undeclared tuna in an Aldi-branded product.
Match your package to the identifiers below:
- Product name: Aldi Brand Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap
- Package size: 8.1 oz
- Key date identifier: BEST IF USED BY DATE OCT.08.2027
These details are the quickest way to confirm whether you have the specific item covered by the FDA alert.
Who should not eat it
Do not eat the product if you have a fish/tuna allergy. Because the issue is an undeclared allergen, the safest choice is to stop serving it and follow the FDA/retailer guidance for next steps.
What if someone already ate it?
If someone with a fish/tuna allergy already ate the product, the FDA alert recommends you seek medical advice and follow your household’s allergy action plan.
I’m keeping this practical and calm: don’t “wait and see” if your allergy plan says to act—use the plan you’ve discussed with your clinician, and contact medical professionals if needed.
How to handle the package at home
Before you do anything else, make it hard for the product to get served accidentally:
- Set it aside (separate from other ready-to-eat foods).
- Do not serve it to anyone.
- Check the product name, 8.1 oz size, and BEST IF USED BY DATE to confirm it’s the same one FDA covered.
- Follow the return/disposal steps described by the retailer/company in the FDA notice.
If you’re caring for kids or multiple adults in the home, a quick labeling move helps—put the package in a tied bag or on a clearly visible spot with a note like “Do not eat—FDA allergy alert.”
Quick next-time scan (fridge/freezer/pantry)
This alert is specific to one product, but it’s smart to do a brief “nearby item” check while you’re already in recall-alert mode. Here’s a simple checklist:
- In your refrigerator/freezer, look for Aldi Brand Fusia and the phrase Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap.
- Check any similar “kimbap” or Asian meal kits for the same product name first, then compare the size and best-if-used-by date against the FDA identifier.
- If you find more than one package, separate them and double-check the dates before anyone eats them.
A 2-minute scan now can prevent a repeat mistake later—especially on busy weeknights when “grab-and-go” choices move fast.
Where to verify the alert
The FDA’s alert includes the product identifiers and consumer action steps. You can confirm details on the official FDA Safety Alert posting.
Next steps, in one line: If you have the 8.1 oz Aldi Brand Fusia Asian Inspirations Kimchi & Tofu Kimbap with BEST IF USED BY OCT.08.2027 and anyone in your home has a fish/tuna allergy, do not eat it—follow the FDA/retailer instructions for return or disposal.
