Tyson Foods is recalling more than 8 million pounds of ready-to-eat chicken products due to possible listeria contamination after one person died, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The frozen chicken was shipped nationwide to retailers and institutions, including hospitals, nursing facilities, restaurants, schools and Department of Defense locations, a press release stated.
It was produced between December 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021, and includes a number of different products.
Some of the items included are the Tyson fully cooked, boneless, skinless – pulled chicken breasts with rib meat, Tyson fully cooked diced grilled chicken breast with rib meat and Little Caesars fully cooked chicken wing sections.
“The products subject to recall bear establishment number ‘EST. P-7089′ on the product bag or inside the USDA mark of inspection,” the press release states.
On June 9, 2021, two people with listeriosis notified the FSIS.
“Working in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners, FSIS determined there is evidence linking the Listeria monocytogenes illnesses to precooked chicken produced at Tyson Foods Inc.,” The press release stated. “The epidemiologic investigation identified three listeriosis illnesses, including one death, between April 6, 2021 and June 5, 2021.”
FSIS warned that “listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.”
