- UPC Codes: The primary UPC codes involved are 4099100067341 (Classic) and 4099100067358 (Strawberry Swirl).

These cheesecakes were distributed to ALDI stores in 26 states across the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast.
- The Risk: Consuming glass fragments can cause serious injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract.
