Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pilgrim's Pride Corp. is recalling over 4.5 million pounds of fully cooked chicken products, primarily under the Gold Kist Farms and Sweet Georgia Brand names. These items, including various breaded nuggets, patties, and tenderloins, were sold in large boxes containing 5-lb clear bags for institutional use nationwide between August 2014 and March 2016. The recall was initiated because the chicken may be contaminated with foreign materials such as plastic, wood, rubber, and metal.

Risk

Consumption of these products poses a physical choking hazard or injury to the mouth and digestive tract due to the presence of sharp or hard extraneous materials like metal, plastic, wood, and rubber.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your freezer for any of the affected Gold Kist Farms, Pierce Chicken, or Sweet Georgia Brand products listed in this recall.
  2. Identify affected products by looking for establishment number 'EST. 20728' inside the USDA mark of inspection and matching the specific case codes and 'Use By/Sell By' dates on the packaging.
  3. Do not consume any recalled chicken products; they should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase for a refund.
  4. If you are concerned about a potential injury or illness related to consuming these products, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  5. For questions about the recall, contact James Brown, Consumer Relations Manager, at 1-800-321-1470.
  6. Contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety information.
