MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Don Miguel Foods Recalls Frozen Ready-To-Eat Carne Asada Burrito Products Due 

to Possible Listeria Contamination

1. REFERENCE: DHA-MSR 6025.01/AR 40-660/ DLAR 6025.01/NAVSUPINST 

10110.8D/AFI 48-161_IP/MCO 10110.38D, DOD Hazardous Food & Nonprescription Drug 

Recall System, 6 September 2018. 

2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: Don Miguel Foods, a Dallas, Texas establishment, is 

recalling approximately 10,642 pounds of frozen ready-to-eat (RTE) carne asada burrito products 

that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food 

Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. 

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 20049” inside the USDA mark 

of inspection. These items were shipped to retail convenience store locations nationwide. 

The problem was discovered after the establishment’s laboratory testing indicated the product 

may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The establishment notified FSIS that some 

of the affected product was distributed into commerce. 

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. 

Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. 

Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious 

infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and 

pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are 

affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and 

convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive 

infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause 

miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In 

addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened 

immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who

experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek 

medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have 

purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away 

or returned to the place of purchase. 

3. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: The frozen RTE carne asada burrito items were produced on 

September 27, 2023. The following products are subject to recall: 

• 7-oz. individual wax paper packages containing “DON MIGUEL Hand Made BURRITO
