Green Chile Frozen Burritos Recalled Due To Possible Listeria Contamination : HEALTH : Tech Times

ADVERTISEMENT

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on May 13 that Green Chile Food Company is voluntarily recalling several of its frozen meat and poultry burrito products due to possible listeria contamination.

The product recall comes after a Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) inspector did a routine testing on a Beef and Potato Burrito and found evidence of Listeria monocytogenes in the items. More than 252,000 pounds of frozen burritos were made from the contaminated batch so USDA has classified this case as a Class I recall for the serious and adverse health risk it poses.

List Of Recalled Burritos

The affected Green Chile frozen products were manufactured and packaged on different dates from March 8 to May 10, 2017 and have the establishment number “EST. 21740” printed inside the USDA mark of inspection.

According to the company, the affected products were shipped to retail outlets, institutions, and distribution centers located in Illinois, California, Oregon, and South Dakota.

Here is the list of affected pre-packaged ready to eat frozen products:

What To Do If You Have A Contaminated Burrito

The USDA strongly advises that contaminated burritos should not be consumed because listeria is a serious infection that can affect people with weaker immune systems and can even lead to death. As of writing, however, there have been no confirmed reports of illnesses caused by the recalled Green Chile products.

Consumers who purchased a contaminated product should throw it away or return the item to its place of purchase.

The company also set up a website to address the massive product recall at burritorecall.com.
