Bj's Recalls Oven Honey Chicken Due to Potential Cross-Contact
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling Oven Honey Chicken deli items that may have been sliced on equipment used for mortadella with pistachios.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 potential cross-contact with pistachios, a common allergen, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' or high-risk hazards where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling approximately 3,704 units of WF Oven Honey Chicken, sold in deli bags. This is a deli service item that was sold at 71 affected BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
The recall was initiated because the chicken may have been sliced on the same equipment where mortadella with pistachios was sliced. This creates a potential cross-contact hazard involving pistachios, a tree nut allergen.
Consumers who purchased this product between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016, should stop consuming it and return it to the store of purchase for a refund. Individuals with a pistachio or tree nut allergy should avoid the product entirely.
