“Great Pacific Beef & Chicken Burrito Recall: Uninspected Products.” GovInfoNow, updated October 12, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275423-vern-s-and-sons-food-service-recalls-beef-and-chicken. Based on USDA FSIS recall #056-2015 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/verns-and-sons-food-service-recalls-beef-and-chicken-products-produced-without).
Why it’s dangerous
The products were produced without federal inspection and outside of official inspection hours, which means they did not undergo the standard safety checks required for meat and poultry products. This lack of oversight creates a risk that the products may not meet safety standards, even though no adverse reactions have been reported to date.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased Great Pacific brand burritos from retail locations in Oregon or Washington around April 2015 are affected. While no illnesses have been reported, anyone concerned about potential food safety issues should monitor their health.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for 10 oz. individually wrapped burritos with the brand name "Great Pacific." Specifically, check for "Great Pacific Beef Verde Burrito" or "Great Pacific Chicken Chipotle Burrito." The packaging should bear the establishment number P-34723 or Est. 34723 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
