Summary

Ruiz Food Products, Inc. is recalling approximately 2.4 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry taquitos, including Beef Taco & Cheese, Buffalo Style Glazed Chicken, and Chipotle Chicken varieties. These products may contain diced onions that were recalled by a supplier due to potential Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes contamination. No illnesses or injuries have been confirmed, but consumers who purchased these items should check their freezers immediately.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Salmonella or Listeria monocytogenes from an onion ingredient. Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, while Listeria can cause serious infections that are particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
