Why you should care:
The alert was issued after a misbranding error meant that there was an undeclared allergen in the products. That Private Selection variety contains eggs, which are not listed on the product label. The USDA noted that no known adverse reactions related to the alert have been reported.
What you can do:
A recall was not warranted because customers can no longer buy the affected product, the USDA explained. However, an alert was issued because of FSIS concern that some packages may still be in people’s freezers.
Anyone who finds the affected chicken breasts in their freezer is advised not to eat the chicken and to either throw it out or return it to the store where it was purchased.
