Product Exclusive to ALDI Stores Recalled From Louisiana Locations
The German-based grocery chain ALDI is a newcomer to the Louisiana competitive grocery market. The chain opened its first store in Lafayette in 2022 marking the brand's first foray into Louisiana. Since that opening ALDI has opened another 14 stores in places like Shreveport, New Iberia, Metairie, and other locales across Louisiana.
According to the ALDI website, the company's core values are consistency, simplicity, and responsibility. The food recall is part of the brand's willingness to be responsible to consumers and ensure that every product sold through the ALDI brand has been thoroughly vetted for safety.
One other way the ALDI brand serves its customers is by offering quality "store brand" products that boast equal or better quality than the national brands offered at other supermarkets. It's estimated that more than 90% of products sold in ALDI stores are exclusive to ALDI.
This recall from the Food Safety Inspection Service, a division of the United States Department of Agriculture affects one of those brands. The brand in question comes from Bestway Sandwiches Inc. of Valencia California. The product in question is the one pictured below.
That is a look at the packaging the product in which the product is sold. We have included the front and back labels so you can compare any product that you might have in your freezer with that of the recalled products.
The product in question is the 20-oz. carton package containing “CASA MAMITA CHICKEN & CHEESE TAQUITOS,” with Best By Dates 07/03/25 and 09/25/25 on the bottom panel. The product will also have the establishment number EST. P-40327 on the carton. All of the affected products were shipped exclusively to ALDI stores across the country.
The reason for the recall is that some of the frozen chicken and cheese taquito products might contain foreign materials, specifically metal. The company has recalled some 24,870 pounds of the product out of an abundance of caution. So far, there have been no reports of major injury or illness caused by the consumption of this product.
The potential problem was noted when a consumer notified the Food Safety Inspection Service that a piece of metal was found in the product as it was being consumed. Another consumer reported to FSIS that they experienced a "dental injury" as a result of using the product.
