Idaho residents urged to check their freezers for potentially contaminated chicken

Idaho Press

The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert regarding mislabeled raw chicken-breast products containing egg, a known allergen, as an undeclared ingredient on the label.

This alarming discovery comes after the FSIS received reports of potentially contaminated products being sold at various grocery stores, including Fred Meyer stores in Idaho, Alabama, Alaska, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oregon, and Washington.

Specifically, consumers are urged to check their freezers for 21-ounce vacuum-packed packages of Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat, which have a best-if-used-by date of June 28, 2026, a lot code of 15326A, and an establishment number of P-45288B.

The problematic chicken was produced on June 2 by FW Farms of Fort Worth, Texas.

FSIS officials stated that the issue was brought to their attention after a retailer noticed that the correct label was applied to the front of the product but the incorrect label, which contained the ingredients statement, was applied to the back.

Although a formal recall was not requested since the product is no longer available on store shelves, consumers who may still have this product in their freezers are advised to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase.

The public is also encouraged to contact FW Farms' customer service at [email protected] with any questions regarding the public health alert.

Eggs are one of the most common food allergies among children, according to the Mayo Clinic, which notes that symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include skin rashes, hives, a stuffy nose, upset stomach, and vomiting.

Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, is also a possible consequence of consuming this contaminated chicken.

The good news, however, is that most children outgrow egg allergies by the age of 16, as informed by the Mayo Clinic.

Additionally, to ensure public safety, consumers are advised to be vigilant in checking the labels of their food products for any potential allergens.
