Listeria Test Leads to Recall of Packaged Burritos

A Denver company has recalled 172 pounds of 5.3-ounce burritos sold individually in convenience stores Dec. 24 and 25 after tests by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) found they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Home Fresh Sandwich Distributors Inc. made the products Dec. 23. In announcing the recall, the FSIS said no illnesses have been reported.

The recall pertains to 5.3-ounce packages of "7- ELEVEN Fresh to Go BURRITO WITH POTATOES, BACON, EGGS, & MONTEREY JACK CHEESE" with a "Best By" date of "Thursday 1225." The products bear the establishment number "EST. 19496" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Consumption of food contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially deadly disease. Symptoms include severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea.

While healthy people rarely contract listeriosis, it can cause serious injury or death to infants, the elderly or people who have weakened immune systems. Pregnant women who eat food containing Listeria monocytogenes are at risk for stillbirth and miscarriage.
