Koch-brand frozen chicken breast recalled

WASHINGTON, March 31 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of approximately 1,420 pounds of frozen chicken breast products due to a labeling error.

The FSIS said Koch Foods Inc. of Fairfield, Ohio, initiated the voluntary recall because the frozen, pre-browned, raw products were labeled as "pre-cooked" and, therefore, don't provide proper preparation instructions. The raw chicken products might appear fully cooked, officials said.

Being recalled are 10-pound cases of "Koch Foods Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast Fillet with Rib Meat," each case containing two 5-pound bags. Each case bears the establishment number "P-20795" inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture mark of inspection, a production code of "24837-2", a date code of "B03982" and a product code of "86861" printed on the label.

The frozen chicken products were distributed in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, intended for use by food service institutions.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact company Vice President of Sales John Marler at 601-732-3056.
