This bizarre taco kit mix-up has forced a nationwide recall that could be dangerous for

Hot cocoa would not make a good taco filling.

But, unfortunately, packets of the mix made their way into taco kits instead of taco seasoning.

Teasdale Foods has recalled its Taco Dinner Kits because of that mix-up – milk in the cocoa mix is not listed as an ingredient, and is an allergen. People who are allergic to milk or have a sensitivity to milk could have an allergic reaction.

According to a Teasdale Foods announcement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the taco kits were sold at Giant, Martin’s and Aldi stores in Pennsylvania as well as in Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts and Maryland.

Also, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

The product details are:

• Martin’s and Giant Crunchy Taco Dinner Kit, UPC 68826757516, with lot code 25257 and best-if-used-by date of March 13, 2026
• Casa Mamita Soft Taco Dinner Kit, UPC 4099100318715, with lot code 25259 and best-if-used-by date of March 15, 2026

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the kits.

“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,” the company said in a news release.

People who bought the taco kits can return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
