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.
