Highest risk recall: 60,000 pounds of popular breaded chicken product affected
Over 60,000 pounds of fully cooked, bone-in breaded chicken products are being recalled nationwide for misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), this recall is for Suzanna's Kitchen of Georgia, which said the products contain soy, a known allergen that is not disclosed on the product label.
The 8-piece cut, bone-in breaded chicken portions were produced on Oct. 16 and were shipped to restaurant locations nationwide. In total, 62,550 pounds of the chicken products are being recalled.
The products were distributed in 18 pound cases that contained four units of "Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Portions" with the case code "P-1380 126237 B30851 23:11 K04" printed on the side of the packaging.
The problem was discovered after the company found the chicken products contained soy that has been mislabeled with a non-allergen containing product code.
The USDA classified this recall as a Class I meaning it "involves a health hazard situation where there is a 'reasonable' probability that use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions after eating these products. However, anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact their healthcare provider.
The department said it's "concerned" that some of the chicken could still be in restaurant refrigerators or freezers.
Restaurants are urged by the USDA to not serve this product and instead toss the chicken away.
