Tortilla recall comes after Wis. students sickened

November 13, 2007
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RACINE, Wis. -- Del Rey Tortilleria, Inc. is recalling several products after health officials in Wisconsin suspected a link between flour tortillas and an outbreak of illness at three schools.

The Chicago-based company said it will voluntarily recall the products as a precaution while the Food and Drug Administration continues to investigate. But Marcy Toledo, Del Rey's general manager, said the company is still not sure its products caused the reported symptoms.

''We're testing the product and looking to see where this is coming from,'' Toledo told The Journal Times in Racine. ''We haven't received any complaints yet about illnesses.''

She did not return a message left by The Associated Press on Tuesday.

More than 80 students at three schools in Racine were afflicted earlier this month by a flu-like illness whose symptoms included vomiting, according to health officials. The Racine Unified School District closed two middle schools and an elementary school for one day to disinfect them.

Health officials in Wisconsin said Friday they suspected soft flour tortillas may be responsible for the outbreak.

An exact cause of the outbreak has still not been found. State health officials said Del Rey made the flour tortillas served at the three Racine schools were illnesses were reported.

Del Rey recalled some tortillas last year after people who ate them complained of stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and headaches, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration.

The products in question were distributed nationwide through food distributors and grocery stores. Consumers should immediately return any product that is subject to this recall to the store where they purchased it for a full refund or replacement.

The recall includes flour tortillas of all sizes: White Flour Tortillas, six-inch Tortillas de Harina, Burritos two, three and four-inch and eight-inch Fajita, with the name ''Del Rey'' on the label and with one of these Date Codes:
