The recall involves 27,964 packages of tamales distributed across California and Nevada. The affected products are identified by the following details:

• Product Name: BBQ Chipotle Bean & White Cheddar Tamales

The ingredients listed on the packaging include organic corn flour masa, beans, jack cheese, salsa, butter, non-GMO corn, salt, spices, and baking powder.

What You Should Do

Consumers who have purchased the affected tamales are urged not to consume them. The product should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.

Why This Matters

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns. While the FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, the presence of biological hazards in ready-to-eat food products represents a significant public health risk.
