Rio Tex Wholesale Meats, a Texas establishment, issued a recall of approximately 58,180 pounds of ready-to-eat beef products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), according to USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The beef products were produced between March 25, 2014 and Feb. 19, 2015 and shipped to hotels, restaurants and institutions in Texas. The following products are subject to recall:
20-lb. boxes containing four 5-lb. packages of “Hausman Foods COOKED BEEF TACO FILLING.”
20-lb. boxes containing four 5-lb. packages of “Hausman Foods SEASONED COOKED BEEF BARBACOA.”
20-lb. boxes containing four 5-lb. packages of “Hausman Foods FULLY COOKED BARBACOA.”

15-lb. and 45-lb. boxes containing three 5-lb. or 15-lb. packages of “Rio-Tex-Meats BARBACOA.”
According to FSIS, the problem was discovered when FSIS personnel reviewed historical sampling data in the context of recent intensified verification testing with multiple Lm positives.
FSIS and the company said they are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers.
