A popular taco dinner kit sold at Aldi is being pulled from shelves.
Shoppers are being urged to check their pantries after Aldi issued a recall on a widely sold dinner kit due to an undeclared allergen.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Casa Mamita Soft Taco Dinner Kit is being recalled after it was found to contain milk, which is not listed on the packaging.
The affected kits are packaged in a blue and yellow box with UPC code 4099100318715, lot code 25259, and a best-by date of MAR 15 26.
States affected by the recall
The recall affects products sold in the following locations: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
More kits affected beyond Aldi
In addition to the Aldi recall, a Crunchy Taco Dinner Kit sold at Martin’s and Giant stores is also being pulled from shelves for the same undeclared milk issue.
That kit comes in a purple box with UPC 68826757516, lot code 25257, and best-by date MAR 13 26.
The manufacturer, Teasdale Foods, Inc., confirmed the allergen was not properly disclosed on the label.
The FDA noted that no allergic reactions have been reported so far.
Health risk for dairy-allergic consumers
Milk is one of the most common food allergens in the U.S., and consuming undeclared dairy can lead to severe reactions.
Symptoms may include:
- Hives or skin rash
- Swelling of the face or throat
- Difficulty breathing or speaking
- Dizziness or fainting
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Cardiac arrest in severe cases
If you or someone else experiences these symptoms after consuming the recalled product, call 911 immediately.
Consumers who purchased either of the recalled kits are advised not to eat them. Instead, return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
