Maryland Firm Recalls Fresh, Raw Chicken Products Due To Possible Processing Flaw

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Perdue Food LLC is recalling approximately 720 pounds of 'COOKIN’ GOOD WHOLE YOUNG CHICKENS' with giblets and necks, sold in 2.5-lb. packages. These fresh, raw chickens were shipped to a distributor in New York for sale and foodservice use in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The recall was issued because a processing error caused the birds to be chilled with room-temperature potable water instead of refrigerated water, potentially allowing the product to remain at unsafe temperatures.

Risk

The chicken may have experienced a processing deviation where it was not properly chilled, which can lead to rapid bacterial growth and increased risk of foodborne illness if consumed. While no illnesses have been reported, the temperature variation makes the product unsafe for consumption.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for 2.5-lb. ice-packed, sealed packages of 'COOKIN’ GOOD WHOLE YOUNG CHICKENS' with giblets and necks.
  2. Verify the product by looking for establishment number 'P-764' inside the USDA mark of inspection or on the box label.
  3. Do not consume the product; instead, dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase.
  4. If you are concerned about a reaction or have consumed the product, contact a healthcare provider.
  5. Consumers with questions may contact Perdue Consumer Affairs at 800-4Perdue (800-473-7383).
