The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of portable Mexican dishes sold in 8 states.

An undeclared soy allergen led Fresh & Ready Foods LLC to voluntarily withdraw two varieties of its spicy breakfast burrito that were perceived to be vegan, according to an FDA alert.

“The recall was initiated following two customer complaints reporting the presence of sausage in a product labeled as vegetarian,” FDA officials said. “The inadvertent inclusion of sausage resulted in the presence of soy, a major food allergen, which is not declared on the product label.”

The recall is applicable to the 8.3-ounce Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito and the 8.2-ounce Fresh and Ready Spicy Breakfast Burrito, which were distributed at grab and go markets and vending machines in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Ingredients visible on the label include scrambled eggs, salsa, potatoes, jalapenos, shredded cheese, green pepper, and onion.

“Consumers who do not consume meat should also not consume these products, as the recall was initiated after sausage was found in products labeled vegetarian,” FDA officials added.

The food items were produced at a Charlotte, North Carolina facility between July 9 and July 12.

For the majority of diners, eating a burrito on the go that contains undisclosed sausage and soy is unremarkable. Consumers with a soy allergy may have an allergic reaction, which raises the stakes of consuming them.

A soy allergy occurs when the immune system incorrectly identifies soy protein as a dangerous invader—similar to how the body fights off a virus or bacteria. The reaction can range from uncomfortable to catastrophic.

Symptoms can include hives, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and throat tightness. In the most severe cases, soy exposure can trigger anaphylaxis—a full-body reaction involving difficulty breathing, a rapid heart rate, a drop in blood pressure, dizziness, and confusion.

Those who are confirmed to have the allergy are typically prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector, commonly known as an EpiPen, which can rapidly reverse the symptoms of a severe reaction. Avoiding soy entirely is the only reliable way to prevent a reaction, since there is currently no cure.

Company leaders did not respond to requests for comment by the time of publication.

No illnesses or allergic reactions have been associated with the burritos to date, according to the FDA.

The affected products carried an expiration date of July 20.

Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them and to discard any remaining product immediately. For a full refund, FDA lists an email and phone number for Fresh & Ready Foods: [email protected] and 1-855-424-8390.
