RECALLED: Undeclared allergens found in misbranded Perdue chicken products

WASHINGTON — Perdue Foods LLC, a Monterey, Tenn. establishment, is recalling approximately 530 pounds of chicken products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) stated Jan. 23 in a media release.

The ready-to-cook chicken breast tenderloin fritters were inadvertently labeled with the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter label. The chicken breast tenderloin fritters contain egg whites and the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritters do not.

•10-pound boxes containing two 5-pound plastic bags with the box labeled "Chef Redi Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter, Rtc – Large" with the case code of 7374.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number "P-11507" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to food service locations in Florida, Maryland and Washington D.C.

The problem was discovered by the firm while performing routine label verification activities.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. 

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
