Breakfast Wrap Recall 2019: Ruiz Foods Recalls Bacon Wraps After Small Rocks Found
Texas-based Ruiz Food Product Inc. is recalling 246,514 pounds of frozen food products, the Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) said Friday.
The products being recalled are 8-pack family-size packages labeled El Monterey Egg, Potato, Bacon and Cheese wraps. The FSIS said the products were possibly contaminated by foreign matter, such as "small rocks." A consumer told Ruiz Foods that they had a "potential injury" related to the products.
On the back of the package, there is an establishment number EST. 17523A. They have the Lot codes of 19017 and 19018. The wraps were produced on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18. Any consumers who have this product should throw them away.
The recall is listed as category one, which states: "This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."
Ruiz Foods had two other recalls over the past 13 months. In October 2018, the company recalled its beef and poultry taquitos over possible salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes contamination due to the diced onions used in the product. In May 2018, the company also had to recall its frozen burritos due to foreign matter contamination.
On the company website, Ruiz Foods claims that the company has an "impressive, long-term safety record."
