Foster Farms recalls chicken strips in isles
SAN FRANCISCO » California-based chicken producer Foster Farms is recalling about 6,165 pounds of its ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast strips in Hawaii and six other states because the strips contain wheat and soy — known allergens — which are not listed on the labels of its packages, federal agriculture officials said.
The mislabeled packages were discovered when a customer complained, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said in announcing the recall Tuesday. The problem occurred when labels for another chicken product that does not contain wheat or soy were inadvertently used, food safety inspectors and officials at Foster Farms said.
There have been no reports of adverse reactions from the sale of the mislabeled products, officials said.
The chicken breast strips being recalled were sold in 4.5-pound cases containing 12, 6-ounce trays of "Foster Farms Grilled Chicken Breast Strips Boneless & Skinless With Rib Meat 97% Fat Free," with an identifying case code of "000606." The recalled product bears the establishment number "P-20923" inside the USDA mark of inspection and a use-by date of "JUN 22 2013" printed on each tray.
