Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

La Autentica Foods, LLC is recalling approximately 117,350 pounds of meat tamale products under the Goya Foods, Quirch Foods, and La Milpa brands because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes various sizes of tamales in corn husks with pork, sold in plastic bags and bulk boxes at retail stores and restaurants. Consumers should check their freezers for these specific products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The product may contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal infection. This is especially dangerous for older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and people with weakened immune systems, and can lead to symptoms like fever, muscle aches, and even pregnancy complications.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for Goya Foods Tamal en Hoja (20-oz), Quirch Foods Tamal Cubano (30-oz), or La Milpa brand tamales (20-oz and 15.5-lb boxes).
  2. Look for the establishment number 'EST. 11154' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product packaging to confirm it is part of the recall.
  3. Verify the 'use by/sell by' dates on the package fall between 09/2016 and 10/2017, and check for packaging dates ranging from September 2015 to April 2016.
  4. Do not eat the recalled tamales; immediately throw them away or return them to the store where you bought them for a full refund.
  5. If you have questions, contact Mr. Fabrice Riviere, President of La Autentica Foods, LLC, at (786) 409-3779.
  6. For additional food safety questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
