FSIS is concerned that this product may be in consumers’ freezers. Please check your freezer carefully to see if you have this item. If you do have it, do not eat it, even if you plan to cook it thoroughly first because of the possibility of cross-contamination. You can throw the burrito away in a secure trash can after first double bagging it, or you can take it back to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.
Then clean out your freezer or refrigerator with a mild bleach solution to kill any bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures, and freezing does not kill it. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after cleaning and after handling this item.
