Several kinds of frozen beef and chicken taquitos and chimicangas are included in a new public health alert because they may contain plastic.

The Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the alert Saturday for ready-to-eat products that contain "diced green chilies that have been recalled by the producer, Sun Valley Foods, due to concerns that the products may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically hard plastic.".

The products were produced by Ajinomoto Foods North America Inc

"FSIS is issuing this public health alert out of the utmost of caution to ensure that consumers are aware that these products, which bear the USDA mark of inspection, should not be consumed," the alert said
