Summary

National Steak and Poultry has recalled various ready-to-eat chicken products that may be undercooked. These products were used as ingredients in a variety of secondary items including pizzas, quesadillas, and fried rice from brands like Ajinomoto, Archer Farms, Ferratto's, Best Choice, Nuevo Grille, and Schwan's. The issue was discovered after a food service customer reported that the product appeared undercooked, which can lead to the survival of harmful bacteria like Salmonella. Consumers should check for establishment numbers P-18356, P-2539B, P-1682A, or P-17417 inside the USDA mark of inspection and return or dispose of affected items.

Risk

Undercooked poultry can contain pathogens like Salmonella, which can cause serious foodborne illness if consumed. While no adverse reactions have been confirmed, the USDA does not have confidence in the safety of these products due to the risk of bacterial contamination from improper cooking.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify affected products by checking for establishment numbers P-18356, P-2539B, P-1682A, or P-17417 inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
  2. Check for specific items such as Ajinomoto Yakitori Chicken with Japanese-Style Fried Rice, Archer Farms pizzas, Ferratto's Chicken Pizza, Best Choice Chicken Pizza, or Nuevo Grille and Schwan's Chicken Quesadillas.
  3. For specific identification, check lot numbers and production dates such as Archer Farms Case Code 20557 (Production Dates 9/12/16, 10/25/16) or Schwan's Lot Codes P66264, P66271, P66278, P66281, P66293, P66294, and P66313. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  5. If you are concerned about a potential illness related to consuming these products, contact a healthcare provider.
  6. Call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
