Taco Kits Sold In Illinois Recalled After Seasoning Switched With Cocoa Mix

There may be an unexpected seasoning packet in your taco kit.

A recall has been issued by a Texas-based food supplier after it's taco kit seasoning packets have been switched out. According to the company, Teasdale Foods, customers complained that the taco dinner kits contained cocoa mix packets instead of taco seasoning packets.

The cocoa mix packets contain milk but milk is not listed as an ingredient on the kit, posing a risk to people with milk sensitivities.

The products affected were sold at Aldi, Giant, and Martin stores in multiple states, including both Iowa and Illinois. The recall is for:

• Martin’s and Giant Crunchy Taco Dinner Kit, packaged in a purple box with UPC: 68826757516, with lot code 25257 and Best if used by date: MAR 13 26 printed on the back of the package.
• Casa Mamita Soft Taco Dinner Kit, packaging in a blue and yellow box with UPC: 4099100318715, with lot code 25259 and Best if used by date: MAR 15 26 printed on the back of the package.

Teasdale says that customers who have the affected product should return it to the store for a full refund. According to the FDA's recall notice, no illnesses have been reported in connection to the seasoning mixup yet.

It was found that the cocoa mix/taco seasoning packet switch-up was caused by mislabeling by the third-party that provides the seasoning.

The taco kits were sold in 28 U.S. states.
