One of the recalled products.

A labeling mistake has sparked a major allergy alert involving taco dinner kits sold across much of the Eastern United States.

Teasdale Foods, Inc., based in Carrollton, Texas, announced the recall on Saturday, Oct. 25, after discovering that certain Martin’s, Giant, and Aldi taco kits may contain undeclared milk. 

The issue was traced to mislabeled cocoa mix packets accidentally included in the kits instead of taco seasoning.

The company said the problem was caused by a mix-up at a third-party supplier and confirmed that “no illnesses have been reported to date.”

The affected products are:

  • Martin’s and Giant Crunchy Taco Dinner Kit, purple box, UPC 68826757516, lot code 25257, best if used by MAR 13 26.
  • Casa Mamita Soft Taco Dinner Kit, blue and yellow box, UPC 4099100318715, lot code 25259, best if used by MAR 15 26.
