A California company has recalled 2,268 pounds of beef and bean burritos on fears they may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.

Windsor Foods of Riverside, Calif., issued the recall for 18-pound bulk cases of individually wrapped Butcher Boy Red Chile Beef and Bean Burritos, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said. The cases contain 72 burritos each, carry the the establishment number "EST. 1905" within the USDA mark of inspection as well as the package code "1219215" and the case code "2080001."

Burritos in question were produced on Aug. 3 and delivered to a Minnesota storage facility. Consumers with questions about the recall should phone Windsor Foods at 909-477-4813.

Consuming foods contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, which can be fatal in infants and the elderly, and can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea among healthy people.

This story is NOT true. If it has the USDA inspection mark on it, it was checked by MY government and the new food czar and is ok for me to eat! Right? My government would NEVER allow anything harmful to happen to me. Right? I voted for hope and change last year and I got it. Right? Now, we can all rest assured that we're in good hands with our government at the helm. Right? I don't have to worry about anything anymore. It will ALL be taken care of for me. RIGHT!

OUR government.. has outright encouraged bad things to happen to us - for decades. It's nothing new. Just ask the kids who were filmed playing in radioactive fallout that had been told it was 'as safe as snow'.. oh wait.. you can't.

When you see what has happened in the past.. some days, the fact that they manage to keep burritos from killing us is utterly amazing.
