Public Health Alert Issued for Chicken Sold at Kroger and Fred Meyer

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for raw boneless chicken breast sold at Kroger and Fred Meyer grocery stores.

The product labeled, "Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat" was produced on June 2 with a best by date of June 28. It included a lot code that read "15326A" on the packaging.

The warning is in response to misbranding and undeclared allergens; a recall was not necessary because the product has been pulled from shelves. The FSIS is still concerned about consumers who already bought the product.

The raw chicken breast includes eggs, which are a known allergen. However, the ingredient was not listed on the product label.

The mistake was reported by a retailer after a store employee discovered the correct label was listed on the front of the product, but an incorrect label was applied to the back of the chicken. The store told the producing establishment, which in turn notified FSIS.

So far, there are no confirmed cases of adverse reactions in response to the product.

The chicken breasts were sold in stores in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oregon, and Washington.

According to the FSIS, anyone who purchased the item should not eat it. Instead, it should be thrown away or taken back to where it was purchased.
