Frozen Waffle Recall Expanded at Aldi, Target, Walmart, and Other Major Retailers Due To Potential Listeria

TreeHouse Foods, Inc. is expanding its recent recall to include all products manufactured at one of its facilities. The update now includes frozen toaster waffles, Belgian waffles, and pancake products due to the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria can cause potentially life-threatening foodborne illness.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially reported that TreeHouse Foods issued a voluntary recall of frozen waffles when routine testing at the company’s manufacturing plant identified the potential problem. The affected products were distributed throughout the United States and Canada and packed in various formats under different brand names listed below.

How To Identify the Recalled Frozen Waffles

More than 900 varieties of waffle and pancake products are affected by the recall. TreeHouse Foods has a comprehensive list of the brands, varieties, and identifying information on its website. The original list can be found here, and the updated list can be found here. Additionally, the products were sold at more than a dozen retailers.

Brands include (but aren’t limited to) Great Value, sold at Walmart; Harris Teeter; Good & Gather, sold at Target; Breakfast Best, sold at Aldi; Clover Valley, sold at Dollar General; 365 Organic, sold at Whole Foods; Giant Eagle; Publix; Simple Truth; and Kodiak Cakes.

Check the comprehensive lists above for additional stores and brands as well as Universal Product Codes (UPCs), Lot Codes, and Best By Dates. Photos of the recalled product packaging can be found here.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

What To Do If You Purchased the Recalled Waffles

Do not consume the waffles or pancakes if you have them in your freezer. Any of the products on TreeHouse’s list should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 800-596-2903, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (CST).
