Camerican International is recalling boxes of their Aldi Brand Casa Mamita Churro Bites in certain states due to fears of undeclared milk.
Newsweek reached out to the company via email Wednesday for comment.
Why It Matters
Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential for the following: damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or food allergies every year. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
The FDA warns that people with an allergy or sensitivity to milk run the risk of a potentially life-threatening reaction if they eat the recalled churro bites.
What To Know
In an FDA alert on Tuesday, the churro bites filled with chocolate hazelnut cream were sold at certain Aldi locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The recalled product was packaged in a 7.05-ounce box with a lot number of 01425 and a best by date of July 14, 2025. The FDA says that there have been no reported illnesses related to this recall.

What People Are Saying
The FDA in the alert in part: "The recall was initiated after a consumer discovered that the milk-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes that has subsequently been corrected."
In an email to Newsweek in January, the FDA said: "Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service.
"The FDA's role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall," the FDA continued.
It added: "The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled."
Additional information on recalls can be found via the FDA's Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts.
What Happens Next
Customers who have purchased the recalled product are urged to return it to the original place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA says.
