Plain-English summary

Chelsea Food Services, doing business as Journey Cuisine, is recalling approximately 28,064 pounds of ready-to-eat pork and chicken burritos and wrap products. The recall was initiated after the company's product testing revealed that the Burrito Carnitas Caliente tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The company determined that four additional products may be affected due to shared ingredients.

The affected products include KING Soopers Bacon Breakfast Burritos, Carnitas Potato Burritos, Chicken Queso Burritos, and Spicy Sausage Burritos, as well as Shamrock Foods Grilled Chicken Wraps. These items were produced between September 11, 2017, and October 26, 2017, and bear establishment number EST. 19822. The products were distributed to retail locations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women. 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.
