SALT LAKE CITY — M.C.I. Foods Inc. is recalling more than 90,000 lbs of ready-to-eat breakfast burrito and wrap products containing eggs that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced a Class I recall for approximately 91,585 lbs of individually packaged and bulk packaged breakfast burritos and wraps produced between September 17 and October 14.
According to a press release from the USDA, there have been no confirmed reports of illness based on consumption of the products being recalled.
The impacted products, which were shipped nationwide, have establishment number “EST. 1162A” or P-5890A” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
M.C.I. Foods notified the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service of the contamination in the scrambled egg component of the food items after a routine sampling and testing of ready-to-eat ingredients came back positive.
According to the press release, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service “is concerned that some product may be in institutional refrigerators or freezers.” Any ready-to-eat breakfast burrito or wrap products impacted by the recall should be thrown away.
The Los Cabos, El Más Fino and Midamar brand products from M.C.I. Foods are included in the USDA’s National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.
Class I recalls involve health hazard situations, where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product in question will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
According to the press release, consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis. Older adults, individuals with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and their newborns are at higher risk if they contract this serious infection.
Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics.
