Tamales Recall Class Action Lawsuit

Update: Primavera Tamales Recall Expanded to Include Seasonal Pumpkin Variety

January 7, 2026 – Primavera Nueva Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of select 4-count tamales due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, affecting products distributed in California and Nevada between October 10, 2024 and October 10, 2025. The recall was revised to include Roasted Pumpkin & White Cheddar, a seasonal item, bringing the total to 10 affected varieties including both cheese and dairy-free options. The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection revealed that production records did not consistently verify internal cooking temperatures needed to control potential biological hazards. [3]
