M.C.I. Foods Inc. of Santa Fe Springs, CA, is recalling 91,585 pounds of specific lots of breakfast burrito and wrap products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Some of the products were shipped to schools.
The individually packaged and bulk packed frozen breakfast burritos and wraps were produced between Sept. 17 and October 14. A list of the products subject to recall can be found by clicking here. Photos of the products can be found here.
The products have the establishment number “EST. 1162A” or “P-5890A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to foodservice institutions nationwide. The Los Cabos, El Más Fino and Midamar brand products were bought by schools, but were not pat of USDA’s National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.
The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS of a positive Listeria test result in the scrambled egg component after the firm conducted routine sampling and testing of ingredients from its external suppliers.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products. However, it can take up to 70 days of Listeria infection symptoms to develop.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutional refrigerators or freezers. Institutions are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away.
