Key Points

  • Although no adverse reactions have been reported, the USDA urges consumers with milk allergies to avoid the product and either dispose of it or return it to the store for a refund.

If you shop at Aldi, check your freezer for a popular sweet treat. Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream, a frozen product sold at Aldi stores in 13 states, has been recalled due to mislabeling, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The product does not have an allergy warning for milk listed on the box as required by the agency.

The churro bites were sold at Aldi stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee in a 7.05-ounce cardboard box with the lot number 01425 and a "best if used by" date of July 14, 2025.

The recall was initiated after a consumer discovered that the product's packaging did not indicate the possible presence of milk. Camerican International of Paramus, New Jersey, the maker of the Casa Mamita product, reported that the issue was due to a "temporary breakdown" during processing and packaging; the problem has since been resolved.

Don't consume the product if you have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, as it can cause serious or life-threatening reactions. Throw the item away or return it to an Aldi store for a full refund. It's still safe to eat for those who do not have any milk allergies or intolerances.

According to the Mayo Clinic, milk allergy symptoms can occur a few minutes to a few hours after a person drinks milk or eats milk products. Immediate symptoms can include hives, wheezing, itching or a tingling feeling around the lips or mouth, swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, coughing or shortness of breath, and vomiting. A serious milk allergy can also cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that narrows the airways and can block breathing. So far, no illnesses have been reported in relation to the recall.

If you have any questions related to the recall, contact Camerican International by calling 201-587-0101, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST, or emailing fsqaincidents@camerican.com for more information.
