National Steak and Poultry, a meat product company, has recalled over 1.9 million pounds, or 992 tons, of ready-to-eat chicken products, due to a pathogen-related food hazard.
According to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the chickens have possibly been undercooked, thus allowing bacteria to survive in the product. FSIS recommends that customers avoid consuming their purchased chickens and either discard or return them to the place of purchase.
There have been no “confirmed” reports of negative effects from the chicken consumption as of December 2016; the recall was initiated after a customer made a complaint in November 2016 that his chicken appeared to be undercooked.
