Plain-English summary

Culinary International, LLC, a Vernon, California establishment, is recalling approximately 626 pounds of frozen, not ready-to-eat (NRTE) chicken burrito products. The recall is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, as the products contain eggs, a known allergen, which was not declared on the product label.

The affected products were produced on September 10, 2019, and shipped to retail locations nationwide. They bear establishment number P-6009 inside the USDA mark of inspection on the case and on the back of the immediate packaging with the lot code. The specific items include 6-oz. packages of evol. Cilantro Lime Chicken Burrito with lot code B9253 J1 P6009 and BEST BY 03 MAR 2021CB, as well as Item #00300, Lot CB03031C11 and BB: 03MAR2021-CB on the case.

The issue was discovered after FSIS and the firm received consumer complaints reporting that the cilantro lime chicken burritos were actually egg burritos. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
