Red’s All Natural, a brand known for its convenient and tasty frozen offerings, has issued a voluntary recall on a batch of their popular mini burritos due to potential listeria contamination.
The affected item, Red’s Southwestern Grilled Chicken Mini Burritos, identified by Costco item #1850156, was sold between October 1 and October 10, 2024.
If you've shopped for frozen delights during this period, it's time to check your stash.
The specific “Best By” dates to look out for are 3/27/26, 4/01/26, 4/02/26, and 4/07/26.
These dates are crucial indicators, as they help you determine whether your package is part of the recall. You can find them stamped on the bottom of each package.
Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria in question, is a formidable foe. It thrives in cold environments, making the freezer a potential incubator rather than a safe haven.
While some may only experience mild symptoms like fever and muscle aches, others, especially older adults, those with weakened immune systems, and pregnant individuals, could face severe complications such as meningitis or even pregnancy loss.
The symptoms can be deceptive, often resembling a mild flu but can escalate quickly. If you or someone you know has consumed the recalled product and is experiencing unusual symptoms, it's essential to seek medical attention promptly.
If you have any of the specified Red’s Southwestern Grilled Chicken Mini Burritos in your possession, do not consume them. Instead, return them to Costco for a full refund.
For those with questions or concerns, Red’s All Natural has provided a customer service line at 888-522-9408, available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT. They're ready to assist with any inquiries you may have about the recall.
