A previous unclassified food recall involving bags of El Mirasol’s tortillas was assessed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as Class II, meaning that the consumption of the affected products could cause some kind of health consequence.
El Mirasol, Inc, a company headquartered in Plant City, Florida, and one of the largest tortilla manufacturers in the Sunshine State, initiated a voluntary recall of dozens of bags of its Tortilla de Harina product in late April after suspecting they may contain an undeclared allergen—wheat.
Some 50 cases containing 20 packages of 10 tortillas were affected by the voluntary recall. Each package comes in a clear plastic bag containing 400 grams of tortillas.
The lot affected are 012324120800, with an expiration date of February 23, 2024; and 021924120800, with an expiration date of March 19, 2024.
The products were only distributed within Florida.
While El Mirasol started recalling the product on April 29, the FDA only classified the recall on June 17. The federal agency classifies its food and soft drinks recalls according to the health hazard linked to the consumption of these products.
