Windsor Foods recalls beef, chicken products on possible salmonella contamination
Windsor Foods, with operations in Lampasas, Texas, and Oakland, Mississippi, is recalling approximately 1.7 million pounds of ready-to-eat beef taquito and chicken quesadilla products that may be contaminated with salmonella.
The packages of beef taquito and chicken quesadilla products contain as an ingredient the specific Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP), which was previously recalled, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced late Tuesday (March 8). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of the HVP product on March 4.
A recall of the ready-to-eat taquito and quesadilla products containing the HVP was warranted due to the determination that the HVP ingredient was added after salmonella prevention steps were applied.
