Del Rey Tortilleria, Inc., in conjunction with the FDA, is recalling all of its flour tortillas because they may be linked to some illnesses in schools. The recalled tortillas include White Flour Tortillas; Tortillas de Harina(6 inch); Burritos 2, 3, and 4; and Fajita 8" size with date codes of Oct. 17; Oct. 20; Oct. 24; Nov. 4; Nov. 10; or Nov. 11, 2007.

Illinois state officials have told us that they believe there is a connection between the tortillas and recent illnesses in Racine, WI schools, in which students experienced vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps. If you experience symptoms of this type, you should consult a health professional.

Del Ray has stated that they are unsure if their product is the cause of the illnesses, but they want to be cautious so they decided to go ahead and recall the tortillas. The illnesses are being investigated to find the source of the problem.

The recall does not include any other Del Ray products. The tortillas were sold nationwide at retail and grocery stores.
