Bacon breakfast wraps recalled because they may contain small rocks

The company says the wraps may have extraneous material inside them, which has forced the recall.

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Texas-based Ruiz Foods is recalling about 246,000 pounds of frozen breakfast wrap products containing bacon that officials say may be contaminated with foreign material -- namely small rocks, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said.

The frozen egg, potato, bacon and cheese wrap items were produced on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18, 2019.

The items involved in the recall are 8-pack family size film packages containing "El Monterey Egg Potato Bacon & Cheese Sauce Breakfast Wraps" with "Best if Used By" dates of 01/17/2020 and 01/18/2020 along with lot codes 19017 and 19018, listed on the packages.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. 17523A" on the back of the package. The items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
