USDA announces recall of more than 24,000 pounds of frozen foods sold at Aldi

The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a recall of more than 24,000 pounds of a popular Aldi frozen product because it may be contaminated with a foreign material. Aldi’s frozen Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos have been recalled after pieces of metal were found in the food.

Bestway Sandwiches Inc., the maker of Aldi’s frozen taquitos, issued the notice after a customer complained of finding a metal fragment in the product.

How to identify the recalled Aldi Taquitos

The recall lists 20-ounce packages of frozen Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos that were produced between July 3, 2024 and September 25, 2024 and sold in all Aldi stores nationwide. Although the product is likely no longer on Aldi’s shelves, the FSIS is concerned that the taquitos may be in customers’ freezers.

To identify the recalled taquitos, look for the company number EST. P-40327 on the box, and deadline 07/03/2025 or 25/09/25. You can find label images of the recalled product at USDA website.

No other flavors of Casa Mamita taquitos or the Aldi product are affected by this recall.

What to do if you have purchased the affected product

If you have the recalled frozen taquitos, you should not eat them. Throw them away instead or return them to your Aldi store for a full refund.

The USDA has reported a dental injury caused by eating taquitos with chicken and cheese. If you have any concerns about harm due to this recall, you should contact your healthcare provider. If you need to report an injury or side effect caused by consuming the recalled product, you can do so via USDA’s Electronic Consumer Complaint Form.
