MG Foods Recalls Spicy Breakfast Burritos for Undeclared Soy Allergen

MG Foods, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina has recalled 498 Spicy Breakfast Burritos sold under the Fresh & Ready Foods and Sprig & Sprout brand names due to undeclared soy, an allergen not listed on the product label. The recall has been classified as Class I, the most serious category, meaning there is a reasonable probability that use of the product could cause serious health consequences or death.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recalled product is Spicy Breakfast Burrito, packaged in a spicy tortilla and sold under two brand names. The ‘FRESH & READY FOODS Spicy Breakfast Burrito’ has a net weight of 8.2 oz (232g) and UPC 1 00001 00029 7. The ‘Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito’ has a net weight of 8.3oz (234g). Both products list Egg, Milk, and Wheat as allergens on the label. The burritos carry a Fresh Thru date of 07/20/26 and were produced by MG Foods, located at 10015 John Price Rd, Charlotte, NC 28273-4522.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was voluntarily initiated by the firm after receiving complaints regarding sausage found inside the burritos. Upon investigation, the company discovered that the sausage ingredient contains soy, which was not declared on the product label. This poses a serious risk to individuals with soy allergies or sensitivities, who could experience allergic reactions ranging from mild symptoms to severe, potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis if they consume the product without knowing it contains soy.

Who Is Affected?

A total of 498 burritos were affected by this recall. The product was distributed to seven states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, as well as West Virginia. Consumers in these states who purchased either the ‘FRESH & READY FOODS’ or ‘Sprig & Sprout’ branded Spicy Breakfast Burritos, particularly those with soy allergies, should take immediate action. The recall status is currently listed as ongoing.

What Should You Do?

Consumers who have purchased the recalled Spicy Breakfast Burritos should take the following steps.

• Check your freezer or refrigerator for burritos matching the brand names ‘FRESH & READY FOODS’ or ‘Sprig & Sprout’ with a Fresh Thru date of 07/20/26.
• Do not eat the product, especially if you or a family member has a soy allergy.
• Discard the product or return it to the place of purchase.
