Update: Green Chile Concepts, LLC says they're relocating to a new manufacturing facility starting Monday, as part of a long-planned move, reports CBS Los Angeles.
New Mexico-based Green Chile Food Company is recalling "approximately 252,854 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry frozen burrito products" due to listeria.
Listeria can cause fatal infections in children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Others may experience high fever, diarrhea and severe headaches. It can also lead to miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
