Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 130,860 pounds of frozen, fully cooked, diced chicken products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes 4-lb. plastic bags of white meat and dark/white meat blends distributed through the USDA Farmers to Families Food Box program at local food banks. FSIS discovered the issue during routine inspections when they found that products requiring recooking due to potential contamination had been repackaged without being processed. No illnesses have been reported to date, but consumers who received these food boxes in Florida should check their freezers immediately.

Risk

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can lead to fever, muscle aches, headache, and stiff neck. This infection poses a severe risk to older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, where it can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, or life-threatening infections in newborns.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by checking for 4-lb. plastic bags labeled 'FULLY COOKED CHICKEN MEAT ¾ DICED WHITE' with code 13530 and establishment number P-18237.
