Frozen Meat and Poultry Products Recalled for Chemical Water Contamination

Agency Publication Date: June 2, 2017

Summary

Correctional Industries Airway Heights Food Operations is recalling approximately 319,000 pounds of various frozen meat and poultry meals produced between April 1, 2017, and May 15, 2017. The products were manufactured using municipal water found to contain safe-drinking-limit-exceeding levels of fluorinated organic chemicals (PFOS and PFOA). While no illnesses have been reported, consumers are urged to stop using these products and return them for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

The products were made with water containing elevated levels of Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which are chemical contaminants above the EPA's Lifetime Health Advisory levels. Consuming these chemicals over time can pose health risks.

What You Should Do

Check your freezer for various frozen meals from Washington State Correctional Industries with 'Mfg Date' between April 1, 2017, and May 15, 2017.
Look for the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging containing establishment number 'EST. 40238' or 'EST. P-40238'.
Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
If you have health concerns after consuming these products, contact your healthcare provider.
Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
