Perdue Foodservice Voluntarily Recalls 530 Pounds of Mislabeled Restaurant Product
January 24, 2018
Salisbury, Md. (Wednesday, January 24, 2018) – Perdue Foodservice has voluntarily recalled 530 pounds of a mislabeled restaurant product distributed to foodservice customers in Florida, Maryland and Washington, D.C.
The ready-to-cook chicken breast tenderloin fritters were inadvertently labeled with the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter label. The chicken breast tenderloin fritters contain egg whites, an allergen, and the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritters do not.
“Perdue discovered the label mistake and we subsequently notified everyone who received the product,” said Perdue spokesperson Joe Forsthoffer. “As added assurance, we implemented the voluntary recall.” The product was not distributed for sale to retail consumers.
The ready-to-cook chicken tenderloin fritter items were produced on December 6, 2017, at Perdue’s Monterey, Tenn., cooking plant. The following products are subject to recall:
- 10-lb. boxes containing two 5 lb. plastic bags with the box labeled “CHEF REDI HOMESTYLE CHICKEN TENDER FRITTER, RTC – LARGE” with the case code of 7374.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-11507” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
