2 popular batches of tortillas, distributed all over Texas, are being recalled after the FDA noticed something missing.
Don’t freak out just yet, only certain people need to worry about this and … to my knowledge … this brand isn’t even sold in El Paso.
The recall has to do with how ingredients are listed on the label(s)Â and the potential for allergic reactions. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen this brand in El Paso but, for safety’s sake, be careful with Mama Grande tortillas.

That’s why labels have to be, as Marisa Tomei said in My Cousin Vinnie, “dead on balls accurate”.
Individuals who are allergic to wheat or soy are advised not to consume either of the recalled products. The impacted items were distributed across Texas to retail stores and to wholesale customers between February 2, 2026 and March 5, 2026. – mysanantonio
