Aldi Recalls Portland Brand Turmeric Due to Pesticide Contamination

The affected batches are P202469 (best by 05/31/2027) and P201042 (best by 04/30/2027), identified by the GTIN code: 2006050101313.These products were sold between June 10, 2024, and December 9, 2024, in various regions across the United states.

Health Risks Associated with Chlorpyrifos Contamination
chlorpyrifos is a pesticide regulated for agricultural use, but excessive exposure can pose significant health risks. “If turmeric is recognized for its beneficial properties in cooking and in option medicine, it becomes a potential danger when contaminated by chemical substances. Consumers must therefore exercise great caution,” warns the distributor. The pesticide’s potential impact on the nervous system and long-term health concerns necessitate immediate action.
Aldi is committed to ensuring the safety of its products and is taking this recall seriously. “The distributor undertakes to refund the products in full returned, even in the absence of a receipt,” the company states. Consumers who have purchased the affected turmeric should immediately stop using it and return it to their local Aldi store for a full refund.
The recall will continue until February 18, 2025. While a specific contact number for the original recall was provided, a US-based contact number would need to be added here for American consumers.
