Wegmans recalls 1,000 pounds of chicken shipped to 6 states

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The Wegmans grocery store chain is recalling more than 1,000 pounds of chicken shipped to six states.

A federal inspector found that Rochester, New York-based Wegmans altered its production schedule and produced chicken products outside the approved hours of operation. Chicken products produced on Sunday were never inspected.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday night that it had issued a Class 1 recall, which means there is "a reasonable probability" that consuming the product will result in serious, adverse health consequences or death.

The products include Italian marinated chicken breast cutlets, brown sugar barbecue seasoned chicken breast cutlets, and the ready to cook garlic and fennel seasoned chicken roast, CBS New York reported.

No health problems have yet been confirmed.

The chicken was shipped to distribution and retail locations in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The chain is offering full refunds for eligible products.
