El Monterey Taquitos and Tornados were recalled in Canada a few days ago because they sourced a “small quantity” of beef from Rancho Feeding Corporation. That company processed diseased and unsound animals without federal inspection so it is considered unwholesome and adulterated. Now Walmart is recalling some Taquitos that were sold in the U.S. that may contain some Rancho beef.
