WASHINGTON, November 1, 2012 –Perdue Foods,
LLC, a Bridgewater, Va. establishment, is recalling
approximately 1,440 pounds of chicken breast nugget products
because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen, milk, not
declared on the label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The products subject to recall include:
- Bundled packages containing 3 12-oz. tray packs of
“Perdue Original Chicken Breast Nuggets.” Each package bears
the establishment number “P. 369” inside the USDA mark of
inspection and a “Sell By” of Dec. 16, 2012.
The products were produced on Oct. 17, 2012, and
distributed to retail stores in Connecticut, Delaware,
Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. When available, the
retail distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS’ website
at
www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases/
index.asp.
The problem was discovered by the company and occurred as a
result of an ingredient reformulation and a labeling error.
FSIS and the company have not received reports of adverse
reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone
concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare
provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to
verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall
and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is
no longer available to consumers.
