Contaminated bacon bits may have made their way into breakfast burritos and chicken sandwiches sold at Colorado convenience stores.
A Wisconsin company is recalling 3,600 pounds of food made with bacon bits because of possible contamination with listeria bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported.
The bits — inside individually wrapped burritos and sandwiches — were distributed to 7-Eleven stores and small, independent grocery stores in Colorado, state health officials said Monday.
The snacks have been removed from store shelves, said the distribution company, Home Fresh Sandwich Distributors. They were labeled “Burritos with Potatoes, Bacon, Eggs and Monterey Jack Cheese” and “Chicken Club on Cracked Wheat Bread.” They were sold under the 7-Eleven label or in grocery stores under the Home Fresh Sandwich Distributors brand.
Those who ate the snacks should contact a doctor if they become ill, said Lori Maldonado, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
