US-based Humphrey’s Market is recalling about 2,764 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat (RTE) and raw poultry products as they were produced without the benefit of inspection, according to the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
These products were also misbranded after being repackaged and may contain soy, wheat and milk, known allergens not declared on the label.
The RTE products associated with the recall include Cryovac packages of Mesquite Chicken Breast,Italian Chicken Breast, Grilled Chicken Breast, Italian Tomato Basil Chicken Breast and BBQ Glazed Chicken Breast. The raw products subject to recall include Cryovac packages of Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast and Bacon-wrapped Turkey Breast Filet.
FSIS noted that the products were repackaged on various dates through 7 January 2013, then shipped into commerce, without the required ingredient statement and other labeling features on the immediate product container. The repackaged products were sent to a distributor for direct home delivery in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
The problem was discovered during a routine food safety assessment (FSA) at the plant by FSIS. Agency enforcement personnel determined that the products were produced without the benefit of inspection, proper record-keeping, and adherence to food safety and sanitation plans approved by FSIS and without correct labeling.
FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
