Company Announcement

Carrollton, TX — Teasdale Foods, Inc. is recalling certain Taco Dinner Kits, because they may contain undeclared milk. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Product was distributed to Giant, Martin’s, and Aldi retail stores located in Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

The potentially affected products are:

• 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.

No illnesses have been reported to date associated with the implicated product. The recall was initiated after the company received consumer complaints the Taco Dinner Kits contained cocoa mix packets containing milk instead of taco seasoning packets and were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by mislabeling of the taco seasoning packets by the third party that provides the seasoning.

Consumers who have purchased the product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at teasdalecomplaints@teasdalefoods.com.
