Taquitos sold at Aldi recalled after customer complains of ‘dental injury’: USDA

(NEXSTAR) – Nearly 25,000 pounds of frozen taquitos sold at Aldi have been recalled after complaints that the food item contained pieces of metal, according to a notice published by U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

In one case, a consumer claims to have suffered a “dental injury” after biting into a taquito, the notice said.

The recall specifically concerns 20-ounce packages of Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos produced by Bestway Sandwiches, Inc., produced on July 3, 2024, and September 25, 2024. The FSIS did not say when the affected items were removed from sale at Aldi, but inspectors were “concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers,” per the notice, issued Saturday.
