More than 24,000 pounds of taquitos sold at Aldi stores have been recalled because they might have pieces of metal in them, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

In an announcement, the FSIS said that Bestway Sandwiches, Inc., of Valencia, California, was recalling about 24,870 pounds of frozen chicken and cheese taquitos produced on July 3, 2024 and September 25, 2024.

The products were 20-ounce carton packages containing “CASA MAMITA CHICKEN & CHEESE TAQUITOS,” with Best By dates 07/03/25 and 09/25/25 on the bottom panel and establishment number “EST. P-40327″ on the package.

The taquitos were shipped to Aldi stores nationwide.

The FSIS said the problem was discovered after a consumer complained that there was a piece of metal in their taquitos, and another reported having an injury to their teeth. There were no other reports of illness due to eating the products, the FSIS said.

The agency said it is worried that some of the taquitos could be in consumer’s freezers, and urged people not to eat them, but to either throw them away or return them.
