The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said there are no confirmed reports of people getting sick yet, bunyone concerned about should go to the doctor.

Officials said the problem was discovered when the company received reports that the diced onions used in the production of their beef and cheese taquitos were being recalled by their supplier.

The recalled taquitos were produced from July 1 through October 10. They include the following products:

– 4.5-lbs. cardboard cases containing 24-count Go-Go Taquitos “Beef Taco & Cheese Taquitos” with a case code 86183 printed on the label.
