VICS Acquisition of Harlingen, Texas, is recalling about 99,975 pounds of chicken products because they contain undeclared eggs, one of the major allergens, that isn’t declared on the label. Anyone who is allergic to eggs who eats these products could have a serious reaction. No adverse reactions or illnesses have been reported to date in connection to the recall.
The recalled products were produced from August 7, 2018 through October 15, 2018. They are:
- 1.5-pound packages containing one frozen steam bag meal of “happi foodi BLOODY MARY INSPIRED CHICKEN” with lot codes 14528 and 15092 and use by dates of March 2, 2020 and April 15, 2020.
- 1.5-pound packages containing one frozen steam bag meal of “SE Grocers MARSALA CHICKEN” with lot codes 14177 and 14532 and use by dates of Feb. 8, 2020 and March 3, 2020.
- 1.5-pound packages containing one frozen steam bag meal of “SE Grocers MEDITERRANEAN STYLE HERB CHICKEN” with lot codes 14145 and 14531 and use by dates of Feb. 7, 2020 and March 4, 2020.
These products have the establishment number “P-34622” on the package. The happi foodi items were shipped to retail locations across the country. The Southeast Grocers brand products were shipped to retail locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. A label review uncovered the problem.
If you are allergic to eggs and you purchased any of these three products, do not eat them. You can throw them away, or take them back to the store where you purchased them for a refund.
Make sure you check your freezer too. FSIS is concerned that some of these products could be frozen in consumers’ home freezers.
