Taquitos from Missouri & Illinois Aldi Stores Under Urgent Recall

If you recently picked up some taquitos from a Missouri or Illinois Aldi store recently, you need to know there's now an urgent recall due to the detection of metal pieces that could be dangerous to you.

This bulletin was just shared by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. The company that produces these taquitos found in Missouri and Illinois Aldi stores involves 24,870 pounds of frozen chicken and cheese taquito products. These taquitos may be contaminated with metal pieces.

Here is what you need to look for:

• 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.

This is what the box looks like.

The bulletin from the USDA says that these taquitos were shipped and sold in Missouri and Illinois Aldi stores and could be in your freezer right now. The recall says there is one dental injury that's already been connected to these products, but no other illnesses have been reported as of the time of this writing.

If you find you have these taquitos, they can be returned to stores for a full refund or you can choose to just dispose of them. It is advised that if you do have the affected taquitos that you do not take the chance of consuming them.
