The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reported the recall on January 11 after a piece of metal was found in the product.

Why is Casa Mamita being recalled?

Bestway Sandwiches Inc., the company that produces Casa Mamita taquitos for Aldi, received a complaint from a customer who found a piece of metal in the food. Another customer reported a dental injury from the taquitos, which could have been from metal in the filling.
