The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a public health alert for a frozen burrito product sold at Costco stores because of an undeclared egg allergen.
The alert involves Red’s Steak Cilantro and Lime Burritos, which contain eggs that are not listed on the product label.
The burritos were distributed to Costco stores in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota.
A formal recall was not issued because the product is no longer available for purchase in stores. However, the USDA warns that consumers may still have the burritos in their freezers.
Anyone who purchased the affected product is urged not to eat it. Instead, consumers should throw the burritos away or return them to the place of purchase.
The public health alert is especially important for individuals with egg allergies or sensitivities, who could experience a serious allergic reaction if the product is consumed.
