WASHINGTON, Jan 17, 2013 –Humphrey’s
Market, Inc., a Springfield, Ill. establishment, is recalling
approximately 2,764 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat (RTE) and raw
poultry products because they were produced without the benefit
of inspection. The products were also misbranded after being
repackaged and may contain soy, wheat and milk, known allergens
not declared on the label.
The following RTE products are subject to recall: :
- Cryovac packages of “Mesquite Chicken Breast” containing
4-oz. portions
- Cryovac packages of “Italian Chicken Breast” containing
3.5-oz. portions
- Cryovac packages of “Grilled Chicken Breast” containing
4-oz. portions
- Cryovac packages of “Italian Tomato Basil Chicken
Breast” containing 4-oz. portions
- Cryovac packages of “BBQ Glazed Chicken Breast”
containing 3.1-oz. portions
The following raw products are subject to recall:
- Cryovac packages of “Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast” containing 5-oz. portions
- Cryovac packages of “Bacon-wrapped Turkey Breast Filet” containing 5-oz.
portions
The products subject to recall were repackaged on various dates
through January 7, 2013, then shipped into commerce, without the
required ingredient statement and other labeling features on the
immediate product container. The repackaged products were sent
to a distributor for direct home delivery in Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska.
The problem was discovered during a routine food safety
assessment (FSA) at the plant by FSIS. Agency enforcement
personnel determined that the products were produced without the
benefit of inspection, proper record-keeping, and adherence to
food safety and sanitation plans approved by FSIS and without
correct labeling.
FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of
these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact
a health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and
that steps are taken to make certain that recalled product is no
longer available to consumers.
Consumers and members of the media who have questions regarding
the recall can contact the company’s office adminitrator, Grant
Bradley, at (217) 544-7445.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours
a day at www.AskKaren.gov. "Ask Karen" live chat services are available
Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline
