FSIS Warns Against Raw, Ready-To-Cook Stuffed Chicken Products

(RTTNews) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service or FSIS has issued a public health alert against Tampa Bay Fisheries Inc.'s raw, ready-to-cook chicken entrée products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.

There is concern that the stuffed chicken products may be missing labeling that includes the list of ingredients and cooking instructions. The product contains soy and milk, known allergens, which may not be declared on the finished product label.

A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.

The warning is given to ensure that consumers with an allergy to soy and dairy are not consuming these products, and that consumers properly cook this product to an internal temperature of 165 degrees as measured by a food thermometer.

The products subject to the health alert include 12-oz. plastic wrapped metal containers containing "aprons Ready To Cook Meal For One Sun-Dried Tomato & Cheese-Stuffed Chicken With Lemon-Garlic Potatoes" with a use by date of 02/15/2023.

The raw, ready-to-cook chicken entrée products were produced on February 3 and shipped to Publix distribution locations in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

The products bear establishment number "P-48176" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The health alert was issued after the company notified FSIS that the product was inadvertently misbranded when a printer did not place the bottom label on the product packaging. As a result, the list of ingredients and the cooking instructions are missing.

However, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products to date.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers and urged them to throw away the products or return to the place of purchase.
