Tortilla Enchilada, 16 Oz. /16 units per case, packed in plastic bags

Tortillas Tita, LLC recalled Tortilla Enchilada, 16 Oz. /16 units per case, packed in plastic bags in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Dec 8, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Tortillas Tita initiated a voluntary recall of all lots of their Corn Tortillas and Tortilla Enchilada produced between September 2016 and December 7, 2016, due to undeclared allergen Wheat." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Domestic: MI, OH Foreign: None VA/DOD: None." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Wayne, MI. The recall covers 25 boxes of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 1, 2017), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
