A processing facility that encountered bits of metal complained to Sanderson Farms, alerting it to the issue, says the U.S. Food Safety & Inspection Service.
The chicken items were produced on Sept. 17-18, 2015, and include four kinds of products [click here for the labels]:
70-lb. cases containing “YOUNG CHICKEN PARTS JUMBO BONELESS SKINLESS BREAST FILLETS WITH RIB MEAT” with case code 45017.
70-lb. cases containing “YOUNG CHICKEN PARTS JUMBO CLIPPED TENDERLOINS” with case code 45092.
70-lb. cases containing “YOUNG CHICKEN PARTS JUMBO BONELESS SKINLESS BREAST BUTTERFLIES WITH RIB MEAT” with case code 45015.
70-lb. cases and 1800-lb. combos containing “FRESH YOUNG CHICKEN PARTS BREAST FRAMES” with case code 45969.
The products bear the establishment number “EST. P-247” inside the USDA mark of inspection, and were shipped to processing facilities in Georgia and Louisiana.
The company says none of the products included in the recall were shipped to grocery stores or packed directly for consumers, however.
“The product included ice packed chicken products sold to three customers who use the products for additional processing into further processed chicken products,” Sanderson Farms said in a press release. “The Company has identified all of the products and notified its customers to place the products on hold, return them to the Company and further execute the recall of these products.”
Thus far there haven’t been any confirmed reports of injury from the chicken products, but the FSIS says that if you have do wind up with any of the recalled items, don’t eat them — return them to place of purchase or throw them away.
