Perdue Foods of Tennessee is recalling about 530 pounds of chicken products of misbranding and undeclared allergens. The product contains eggs, one of the major food allergens, that is not declared on the label. Anyone who is allergic to eggs could have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they eat this product. No allergic reactions have been reported to date in connection with this issue.
The ready-to-cook chicken breast tenderloin fritters were inadvertently labeled with the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter label. The chicken breast tenderloin fritters contain egg whites, and the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritters do not. These products were produced on December 6, 2017.
The recalled product is 10-pound boxes containing two 5-pound plastic bags with the box labeled “Chef Redi Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter, RTC – Large.” The case code is 7374. The product has the establishment number “P-11507” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to food service locations in Florida, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Firm employees discovered the problem while performing routine label verification activities.
If you bought this product and are allergic to eggs, do not eat it. Throw it away, or take it back to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The symptoms of food allergies can appear any time in life. Early, mild symptoms include tingling of the mouth, tongue, and lips; and itching, hives, eczema, or flushing. More serious symptoms can include difficulty breathing, swelling of the mouth, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or GI symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
