Nearly 2 million pounds of under-cooked chicken recalled...
National Steak and Poultry issued a recall of more 1.9 million pounds of its ready-to-eat chicken products, the Unites States Department of Agriculture said Monday. The products are sold as fully cooked for consumers to heat and serve, but they may be under-cooked. Under-cooked poultry can harbor bacteria that can lead to gastrointestinal illness.
The USDA Food Safety Inspection Service said the recall was issued, “due to adulteration because of possible under-cooking, resulting in the potential survival of bacterial pathogens in the products.”
The announcement expands a recall first issued November 23 by the Oklahoma-based company. That recall included 17,439 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken parts for the same reason. The total amount of products now subject to the recall is estimated to be 1,993,528 pounds. The expansion was prompted by a November 28 complaint from a customer about under-cooked products, according to the USDA.
