Taco kit recall: Taco kits sold in Alabama recalled for possible listeria contamination
A taco kit sold in Sprouts grocery store locations around the South is being recalled due to possible listeria contamination.
Rizo-López Foods, Fresh Creations Foods, and the Food and Drug Administration have issued a recall of all Chicken Street Taco Meal Kit Units due to the potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria that causes Listeria.
According to an announcement posted on the FDA website on Feb. 12, the meal kits include crema cup which contain a recalled cheese ingredient. The recalled chicken street taco meal kits have a UPC number of 205916414990 and a best by date between November 29, 2023 and March 4, 2024. The taco kit was sold in Sprouts stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
The FDA website says no illnesses have been reported to date. The agency advises customers who have purchased the meal kits to not consume the products and to dispose of them or return the items to their local store for a full refund. The FDA also recommends that consumers who purchased or received any recalled products use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces or containers that may have come in contact with these products in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Rizo-López Foods recently recalled a line of its dairy products because they are potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled dairy products include cheese, yogurt, and sour cream sold under the brand names Tio Francisco, Don Francisco, Rizo Bros, Rio Grande, Food City, El Huache, La Ordena, San Carlos, Campesino, Santa Maria, Dos Ranchitos, Casa Cardenas, and 365 Whole Foods Market.
The recall has affected a number of items sold in stores around the country. Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. recently recalled a line of salad kits that were processed on the same line as cheeses produced by Rizo-López Foods.
