WASHINGTON, D.C. – Your loyal and trusty federal government is warning today that chicken and cheese taquitos sold at Aldi might have metal shavings in them after at least one dental injury was reported, and urge you to throw the delicacies out.
Bestway Sandwiches Inc., a Valencia, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 24,870 pounds of frozen chicken and cheese taquito products that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The frozen chicken and cheese taquito items were produced on July 3, 2024, and September 25, 2024. The following product is subject to recall [see top label]:
20-oz. carton packages containing “CASA MAMITA CHICKEN & CHEESE TAQUITOS,” with Best By Dates 07/03/25 and 09/25/25 on the bottom panel.
The product bears establishment number “EST. P-40327” on the carton package. These items were shipped to select ALDI grocery stores nationwide.
The problem was discovered after the firm notified FSIS that it received a consumer complaint reporting that a piece of metal was found in the frozen chicken and cheese taquito product. Another consumer reported to FSIS to have a dental injury from the product.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
