“WASHINGTON, July 3, 2021 – Tyson Foods Inc., a Dexter, Mo. establishment, is recalling approximately 8,492,832 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The frozen, fully cooked chicken products were produced between December 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021. The products that are subject to recall are listed here. View the labels here.       

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. P-7089” on the product bag or inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped nationwide to retailers and institutions, including hospitals, nursing facilities, restaurants, schools and Department of Defense locations.                             

On June 9, 2021, FSIS was notified of two persons ill with listeriosis. Working in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners, FSIS determined there is evidence linking the Listeria monocytogenes illnesses to precooked chicken produced at Tyson Foods Inc. The epidemiologic investigation identified three listeriosis illnesses, including one death, between April 6, 2021 and June 5, 2021. During routine sample collection, FSIS collected two precooked chicken samples from two establishments that are closely related genetically to Listeria monocytogenes from ill people. One of the samples was collected at Tyson Foods Inc. FSIS is continuing to work with federal and state public health partners to determine if there are additional illnesses linked to these products.

Additional information on the investigation may be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Ugh, time to check the fridge again.  Sigh.

 

But thank you so much for posting all the recalls that you do.  I really appreciate it.

Thank you for posting. DD has been feeling under the weather, but has been eating some cooked chicken breasts she bought. I just sent her the links. As much as I would like her not to have food poisoning, it would be easy to diagnose.

I may have fed bad chicken (different recall) to my daughter this week.  When I was at the grocery store this morning, the lady working in the meat department was removing packages of fresh chicken.  I bought two packages last Saturday, and I'm pretty sure the sell by date was July 4 or 5,  which is included in the recall according to what the lady told me this morning.    I baked the chicken on Thursday, and my daughter has been eating it.  She hasn't been sick, but I'm not giving her anymore.  (I always use a meat thermometer so hopefully she won't have any problem.   I had food poisoning from restaurant chicken once and it started within hours after eating.)
