Wegmans Recalls More Than 1,100 Pounds of Chicken

Wegmans is recalling more than 1,100 pounds of chicken products produced without federal inspection, according to an announcement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service late Monday.

The chicken items were produced on Jan. 3 and shipped to retail locations in six states, including Pennsylvania.

The following products have been recalled:

• Approximately 1-lb. vacuum-sealed packages containing “Wegmans Italian Flavored Chicken Breast Cutlet” with a use-by date of 1/24/2016.
• Approximately 1-lb. vacuum-sealed packages containing “Wegmans Brown Sugar Barbecue Seasoned Chicken Breast Cutlet” with a use-by date of 1/15/2016.

• 1-lb. vacuum-sealed packages containing “Wokery Sherry Chicken 27482” with use-by date of 1/13/2016.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. or P-7567” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were also shipped to locations in Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

“The inspector found that the establishment changed their production schedule, producing these products outside the approved hours of operation,” the Department of Agriculture said.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to the consumption of the recalled chicken.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled chicken should not to consume it and instead return it to Wegmans for a full refund.
