TX Firm Recalls Taco Kits After Supplier Mislabels Cocoa Packets As Seasoning Packet

Teasdale Foods, Inc., Carrollton, TX, is recalling certain Taco Dinner Kits, because they may contain undeclared milk.  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.

In this case, the supplier of the taco seasoning packets mislabeled cocoa packets as taco seasoning.  Here is a great example of the need to ensure suppliers have tight allergen control programs in place.  Clearly this supplier is handling a wide variety of foods containing different allergens.

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.
