Urgent Product Recall: Aldi Taco Kits Contain Undisclosed Milk Allergen
Stay Vigilant: Check Your Pantry for Recalled Taco Kits!
Urgent Alert: Undeclared Allergen Prompts Aldi Product Recall
A widely available item from Aldi, the Casa Mamita Soft Taco Dinner Kit, has been subject to a recall across 28 states and the District of Columbia. This action, initiated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), stems from the discovery of an unlisted allergen within the product's ingredients. Consumers are advised to check their pantry for kits marked with UPC 4099100318715, lot code 25259, and a best-by date of March 15, 2026. The impacted regions include a broad swathe of the eastern and southern United States.
Additional Recalls at Martin's and Giant Stores
In a related development, Crunchy Taco Dinner Kits distributed through Martin’s and Giant grocery stores in the same affected geographical areas are also under recall. These particular kits, identifiable by their purple packaging, UPC 68826757516, lot code 25257, and best-by date of March 13, 2026, share the same undeclared allergen concern. Customers who purchased these kits should verify the product details to ensure their safety.
Health Risks Associated with Undeclared Milk
The primary reason for these recalls is the presence of undeclared milk, a common allergen. While authorities have not yet linked any reported illnesses to these specific products, individuals with milk allergies could face serious health consequences upon consumption. Allergic reactions can vary in severity, potentially leading to symptoms such as skin rashes (hives), respiratory difficulties, speech impairment, dizziness, stomach discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, and in extreme cases, cardiac arrest. Vigilance is crucial for those susceptible to such reactions.
Immediate Action for Affected Consumers
Should you experience symptoms of a severe allergic reaction after consuming these products, seek immediate medical attention by calling 911. Teasdale Foods, Inc., the manufacturer, has instructed consumers to return any recalled taco kits to their original point of purchase for a full refund.
