Taylor Farms of Chicago, Illinois is recalling about 342 pounds of chicken products because of a processing defect that may have led to undercooking, which means pathogens may have survived. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue.
The recalled products were produced on August 3, 2019. They are ready-to-eat breaded chicken items. They include:
- 14.75-ounce sealed clear trays containing “Parmesan Topped Chicken with Spaghetti” with lot codes TFIL215A001 and TFIL216A001 and “Use by” dates 8/14/19 and 8/15/19 printed on the label.

These Taylor Farms chicken products have the establishment number “EST. or P-21794” printed inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to retail outlets in Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia where they are sold in the deli section. One of the labels does have the Meijer store stamp on it.
The problem was discovered when the firm told the USDA that a consumer had filed a complaint. FSIS is concerned that some of these products may be in consumers’ home freezers. check your refrigerator or freezer to see if you purchased any of these products. If you did, throw them away in a sealed package inside a garbage can with a tight fitting lid. You can also take them back to the place of purchase for a full refund.
When and if it becomes available, the retail distribution list showing the stores where these products may have been sold will be published on the USDA web site.
