Aldi has issued an urgent recall affecting 24,870 pounds of its frozen chicken and cheese products due to potential metal contamination. The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on January 11, highlighting concerns about the presence of foreign materials in the "Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos." The products in question were produced between July and September 2024 and carry the establishment number "EST." along with the code "P-40327."
