Taco Recall in Missouri & Illinois for Fatal Contamination Risk

For many, tacos, quesadillas, burritos and other Mexican foods are a treat. Unfortunately, there are many of these foods that have been widely available in Missouri and Illinois that are now under an urgent recall due to a fatal contamination risk.

The Food and Drug Administration just shared an urgent recall for a line of tacos, quesadillas and burritos that were available from Reser's Fine Foods in both Missouri and Illinois stores. Their frozen Mexican meals include "recalled chicken from an outside ingredient supplier" that are experiencing a potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The warning says Listeria can result in "sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems".

Here are the affected products you need to look for that were sold in Missouri and Illinois.

The good news is there are no reported illnesses directly connected to these foods as of the date of this writing. You can check out the full FDA recall bulletin for more details and potential updates.
