Read the official U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall notice
A foods spicy recall is now active for breakfast burritos made by M.G. Foods, Inc. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration assigned it recall number H-1192-2026 on August 12, 2026. The product contains soy that is not listed on the label. For anyone with a soy allergy, that missing line matters. An unlabeled allergen in a ready-to-eat breakfast item can cause a serious reaction. This guide explains what was recalled, why the FDA treated it as urgent, and what steps you should take next.
What the Foods Spicy Recall Covers
The foods spicy recall covers a single product sold under two different brand names. The first is the FRESH & READY FOODS Spicy Breakfast Burrito, Net Wt. 8.2 oz (232g), UPC 1 00001 00029 7. The second is the Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito, labeled “IN A SPICY TORTILLA,” Net Weight 8.3 oz (234g). Both trace back to the same manufacturer.
The label on the recalled burritos declares Egg, Milk, and Wheat. The manufacturer is identified on the packaging as MG Foods, Charlotte, NC 28272. The FDA record lists 498 units affected by this action. That is a small run, which means it may have moved through a limited distribution footprint rather than nationwide retail shelves.
Products like these typically appear in grab-and-go coolers. For example, you may find them in hospital cafeterias, office micro-markets, convenience stores, or vending programs. As a result, some buyers never see a printed store receipt. That makes checking your freezer or refrigerator at home the more reliable step in a foods spicy recall like this one.
The agency record does not publish specific lot codes or date-sold ranges for this action. In most cases, the manufacturer’s own notice carries that detail. Do not assume your burrito is excluded because a code is missing here. Match the brand name, the product name, the net weight, and the UPC where one is printed.
The Hazard and Reported Injuries
The hazard in this foods spicy recall is undeclared soy. According to the FDA record, the firm received complaints about the sausage in the burritos. Upon review, the firm discovered that the sausage contains soy. Soy was not listed anywhere on the finished product label.
Soy is one of the major food allergens recognized under U.S. labeling law. People who are allergic rely on the label alone to make a safe choice. When an allergen is missing from that label, the safety system fails silently. Reactions can range from hives and stomach upset to breathing trouble and anaphylaxis. However, most people without a soy allergy face no added risk from this product.
The FDA classified this action as Class I. That is the agency’s most serious category. Class I is used when there is a reasonable probability that eating the product will cause serious health consequences or death. The classification reflects the potential severity of the risk, not a count of confirmed harm.
The agency record does not state whether any injuries have been reported in connection with this foods spicy recall. We are not going to claim either way. If you believe you had a reaction after eating one of these burritos, tell your doctor and keep the packaging. Documentation matters far more than assumptions.

What To Do If You Own This Product
Start by not eating the product. If you or anyone in your household has a soy allergy, treat the burrito as unsafe. Separate it from other food so no one grabs it by mistake. This step takes seconds and removes the immediate risk.
Next, identify what you have. Check the front label for the brand name and the words “Spicy Breakfast Burrito.” Confirm the net weight, either 8.2 oz (232g) or 8.3 oz (234g). Look for UPC 1 00001 00029 7 on the Fresh & Ready Foods version. Also look for the MG Foods, Charlotte, NC address on the package.
Photograph the label before you do anything else. Capture the front, the ingredient panel, and any printed codes. For example, a clear photo of the UPC and net weight is often enough to confirm a match later. Keep your receipt too, if you have one. These records help with any remedy process and with any medical follow-up.
For the remedy itself, follow the instructions in the official notice linked on this page. We are not stating a refund, return, or disposal instruction here, because the agency record’s remedy language does not match this product. As a result, the safest path is to read the official notice directly. You can also contact M.G. Foods, Inc. using the contact details published in that notice.

Does a Foods Spicy Recall Mean You Can Sue?
No. A foods spicy recall is a safety action, not a lawsuit. A recall is a step taken by a company, sometimes at the FDA’s urging, to pull a product out of the market. It is a correction. It is not a court filing, a claim, or a finding of legal liability against anyone.
A legal claim generally requires more than a recall notice. Typically, you need an actual injury, and you need to link that injury to the specific product. That link is called causation, and it is often the hardest part. Medical records, the product packaging, and the timeline of what you ate and when all matter here.
We are not aware of any verified lawsuit filed over this particular recall, and we are not claiming one exists. If you were harmed, you may be eligible to pursue a claim. However, no one can promise you compensation, and we are not doing so. Outcomes depend on facts, evidence, and the law in your state.
If you had a reaction, talk to a licensed attorney in your state about your options. Many offer free consultations for food safety matters. Bring your photos, your packaging, your receipt, and your medical records. In most cases, a short conversation will tell you whether there is anything worth pursuing.
How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases
Recalls and mass torts are separate things, but they sometimes intersect. A recall notice creates a documented record. It shows what the defect was, when the company learned of it, and how the company described the risk. In later litigation, that record can become evidence. Plaintiffs often point to the timing of a recall to argue what a manufacturer knew and when it knew it.
History offers real examples. The Philips CPAP recall in 2021 involved sound-abatement foam that could degrade, and it was followed by consolidated federal litigation. The Takata airbag inflator recalls became one of the largest automotive recall events ever, and they too were followed by extensive litigation. However, neither example predicts anything about this foods spicy recall. Most recalls, including most food allergen recalls, never lead to mass tort litigation at all. A recall is simply the starting point of a public record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the foods spicy recall dangerous if I do not have a soy allergy?
The hazard here is undeclared soy, so the risk is specific to people with soy allergy or sensitivity. Others generally face no added risk from this issue. Still, follow the instructions in the official notice rather than eating a recalled product.
Why is this a Class I recall if only 498 units are involved?
Class I reflects the seriousness of the potential harm, not the number of units. An undeclared major allergen can cause a severe reaction in an allergic person. The FDA applies the highest class when serious health consequences are reasonably probable.
How do I get a refund or return the burrito?
Follow the instructions in the official FDA notice linked on this page. We are not stating the remedy here because the remedy text in the agency record does not match this product. The official notice and M.G. Foods, Inc. are the correct sources for that step.
Were You Injured by a Recalled Product?
A recall by itself is a safety action, not a legal claim. However, if a recalled product caused a real injury, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. A licensed attorney can review your situation at no upfront cost — most work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless you recover.
