One consumer also reported that they found ‘a piece of metal’ in the product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Saturday (January 11) that Bestway Sandwiches Inc.’s frozen chicken and cheese taquito products had been recalled. 24,870 pounds of the product were affected, as they may “be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal.”.
The recalled frozen chicken and cheese taquito products have the Best by Dates of July 3, 2025, and September 25, 2025, at the bottom of the packaging. They come in packages that read: “CASA MAMITA CHICKEN & CHEESE TAQUITOS.”. The items were produced on July 3, 2024, and September 25, 2024, with the establishment number “EST. P-40327” on the package. Products were sold at Aldi stores nationwide.
The Independent has contacted Aldi for comment. The FSIS is also concerned that the product may still be in consumers’ freezers, which is why the organization is urging not to consume them and throw them out. Consumers can also return the item to the store they purchased it from.
In addition, when a recall happens, the FSIS routinely conducts “effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.”. The recall of the Aldi’s items comes as different product was pulled from shelves at Walmart. Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that 2,023 cases of Great Value, Chicken Broth, sold in 48-ounce containers at Walmart, have been recalled, due to potential “packaging failures that could compromise the sterility of the product, resulting in spoilage.”.
