Urgent Recall: Metal Found in Taquitos Sold at ALDI Stores
Valencia, California-based company Bestway Sandwiches Inc., has issued a recall for approximately 24,870 pounds of frozen chicken and cheese taquito products due to possible contamination with foreign material, specifically metal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) made the announcement on January 11, 2025.
Frozen Chicken and Cheese Taquitos Recalled Due to Metal Contamination
The recalled items are 20-ounce cartons of "CASA MAMITA CHICKEN & CHEESE TAQUITOS" with the following details:
- Best By Dates: July 3, 2025, and September 25, 2025
- Establishment Number: EST. P-40327 (found on the carton package)
These products were distributed to select ALDI grocery stores nationwide.
The problem came to light after a consumer complaint revealed a piece of metal in the product. Another report was made to FSIS regarding a dental injury caused by the taquitos. While no additional injuries or illnesses have been reported, the recall has been issued as a precautionary measure.
What Should Consumers Do?
FSIS advises consumers who purchased the affected taquitos to take the following actions:
- Do Not Consume: These products should not be eaten under any circumstances.
- Dispose or Return: Throw the product away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
FSIS is actively working to ensure that the product is removed from consumer access. Updates, including retail distribution lists, will be posted on the FSIS website.
