Nearly 25,000 pounds of frozen taquitos sold at Aldi have been recalled for potential metal contamination, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Saturday.

The recalled products are 20-ounce boxes of Casa Mamita Chicken & Cheese Taquitos with best-by dates of July 3, 2025 and Sept. 25, 2025, and a UPC code of 4061459337471.
