More Than 700 Pounds Of Chicken Products Recalled

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Perdue Food LLC, a Salisbury, MD establishment, is recalling about 720 pounds of raw, fresh chicken products because they may have experienced a processing deviation in temperature during production, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Saturday.

The products subject to the recall include 80-lb. cardboard boxes, containing approximately 28, 2.5-lb. ice-packed, sealed packages of "Cookin' Good Whole Young Chickens" with giblets and necks.

The products were produced Sept. 3, 2014 and then shipped to a New York distributor for re-sale and food service use in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The packages bear the establishment number "P-764" on the box.

The company discovered the problem when a plant employee checking whole bird temperatures noticed variations in the product.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products so far.
