Bj's Recalls Sriracha Chicken Deli Item for Cross-Contact Risk

Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling D&W Sriracha Chicken deli items because they may have been sliced on equipment used for pistachio-containing mortadella.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling/cross-contact with a common allergen (pistachios/tree nuts), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Bj's Wholesale Club is voluntarily recalling D&W Sriracha Chicken, a deli service item packaged in a deli bag. The recall is due to the possibility that the chicken was sliced on the same equipment used to slice mortadella containing pistachios. This creates a risk of cross-contact with a tree nut allergen.

The affected product was sold at 71 Bj's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The deli items were sold between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016. The total quantity involved in the recall is 3,066 units.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli bags for the specific item and date range. If they have the product, they should discard it or return it to the store of purchase. Individuals with a pistachio or tree nut allergy should avoid consuming this product.
