Most of the beef sold in the US, by Aldi or otherwise, is produced and packaged in the US. 90% of the imported beef comes from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or Mexico. The same goes for pork. Aldi gets a number of its items from China , so it’s not a stretch to wonder if they get their meat from China, too.
This of course begs the inquiry “Does Aldi sell grass-fed beef?”
But Aldi actually sells grass-fed, organic beef . This means that it’s probably going to be more expensive than the other meat you’ll find at Aldi. It also means it is going to be some of the best quality of meat you’ll find at Aldi. One thing you’ll likely never see at Aldi are USDA Prime steaks.
Moreover, where does Aldi get its non-food items from?
One thought is that nearly all of them specifically ask about — or strongly hint at — one country in particular: China. Now, it probably goes without saying that Aldi gets a number of its non-food items from China , including things like hiking boots, exercise equipment, and shower caddies. No surprise there. (Aldi also runs a couple of grocery stores in China.).
One secret behind the crazy-affordable meat is the store’s lack of name-brand products. When other stores offer Tyson chicken tenders, they’re paying for the nuggets and the brand name. Aldi buys comparable products without choosing the one you’ve heard of before, which leads to some much lower prices .
One article argued that for example, when 90 percent of the products in stock are Aldi’s own private label, the prices are simply going to be a lot cheaper (via Business Insider ). What about meat, though? Is it any good ? And really, how is it exactly that Aldi is able to still make a profit and sell those unbelievably cheap bits of beef, chicken, and fish?
Does aldi meat come from china?
Aldi does not get any meat from China. It sources imported meat from Australia, Canada, Mexico, or New Zealand. Customers should not worry about buying meat from China since the law states that products, including food, made outside the United States should clearly label the country they are produced in.
Believe it or not, many people believe meat prices at Aldi are so low because they source their meat from China. Of course, that is far from the truth. Most meat sold in the Aldi’s around the US is produced and packaged in America. Their imported meats are sourced from Canada, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.
Are your Aldi products made in the USA?

Are Aldi products made by the same manufacturers?
Aldi contracts out their products to the SAME food manufacturers that supply national brands. The product ingredients are usually identical or very similar as they work with manufacturers to create their own store-line products that tastes the same or better than the leading brand.
Is Aldi considered Whole Foods?
Finally, ALDI is not a Whole Foods or the health food section of your grocery store. The majority of the items there are not organic or natural, or even all healthy, as is the case in a typical grocery store.
A tour of a food processing company revealed that there are many different companies they can for, and Aldis was one of them . Although the brand names were different the packages look surprisingly familiar.
