The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a significant recall affecting Aldi stores across the nation. The recall involves approximately 24,870 pounds of frozen chicken and cheese taquito products that “may be contaminated with foreign material,” according to the USDA. The affected products are manufactured by Bestway Sandwiches and sold under the name “Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos.”

The news comes during a wave of similar recalls among food and beauty products across the United States.

Consumers who have purchased these taquitos should check for products with best-by dates ranging from 07/03/25 to 09/25/25 and bearing the establishment number EST. P-40327. These items are considered potentially hazardous and should not be consumed.

Even more concerning, another customer reported a dental injury after consuming the taquitos. These incidents highlight the potential dangers posed by metal contamination in food products and underscore the importance of swift action in such cases.

As of now, Aldi has remained silent on the issue, declining to respond to requests for comment regarding the taquito recall. This lack of communication has left many consumers anxious for more information about how the company plans to address the contamination scare and prevent similar incidents in the future.

The Aldi taquito recall is not an isolated incident in the realm of food safety concerns. Recently, other major retailers have faced similar issues. Braga Fresh recalled its Marketside Broccoli Florets due to potential listeria contamination, while Walmart had to recall chicken broth because of packaging issues.
