Ohio - Drew's Organics, LLC of Chester, VT is issuing a voluntary recall on one lot of Aldi Simply Nature Organic Poppy Seed Dressing. 

The recall is due to a processing issue that could lead to microbial growth. 

The recalled product comes in a 12 fl. oz. glass bottle with the Best if Used By date of Feb 15 2023, and UPC #4099100023169.  The lot code is printed on the shoulder of the bottle above the label.

This recall is being issued in cooperation with the US FDA. 

The dressing has been distributed to select Aldi stores between August 20th and September 10th in the following states Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.

No illnesses related to this product have been reported, and no other Aldi's products have been affected. 

The recall was first initiated after Drew's Organics workers noticed a discoloring of the dressing after its manufacturing, and an investigation led to the discovery of an out of spec pH with potential for microbial growth, including clostridium botulinum, or better known as botulism. 

Consumers should discontinue the use of this product and should return it to the store for a full refund.
