Over 500,000 Frozen Burritos Recalled Due To Listeria Contamination
If those little frozen burritos are in your daily lunch rotation, check that they’re not from Green Chile Food Company, or you might end up getting sick.
Green Chile recalled 252,854 pounds of frozen burritos after the USDA discovered traces of listeria in a beef and potato burrito this past Saturday.
According to the USDA, listeriosis symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions followed by diarrhea. The effects can be even worse for pregnant women, as it can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections to the newborn.
Green Chile sells its burritos throughout California, Illinois, Oregon, and South Dakota, but thankfully, no one has gotten sick from them yet.
The burritos in the recall were produced between March 8 to May 10, and the USDA suggests you take them back for a refund, or at the very least throw them away.
