The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a public health alert for a frozen burrito sold at Costco because officials claim it contains an undeclared allergen.
A product labeled as Red’s Steak Cilantro and Lime Burrito, which was produced on June 19, contains egg not declared on its label.
The burritos were shipped to Costco stores in Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.

A recall for the product wasn’t issued because the burritos are no longer for sale, but the USDA said they could be inside customers’ freezers.
The problem was discovered after a consumer flagged the issue to the company after they realized there was egg inside the burrito, and the company notified the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
No adverse reactions have been reported after eating the burrito.
