Plain-English summary

Perdue Foods LLC is recalling approximately 530 pounds of ready-to-cook chicken breast tenderloin fritters due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The product contains egg whites, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. The issue arose because the chicken breast tenderloin fritters were inadvertently labeled with the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter label, which does not contain egg whites.

The affected products were produced on December 6, 2017, and bear establishment number P-11507 inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to food service locations in Florida, Maryland, and Washington D.C. The problem was discovered by the firm during routine label verification activities. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Perdue Consumer Relations at 1-877-727-3447.
