Plain-English summary

Sunrise Poultry Processors, an establishment in Alberta, Canada, is recalling approximately 2,705 pounds of poultry products. The recall involves various cuts of chicken, including thighs, boneless thighs, boneless breasts, and whole fryers in different case sizes. These products bear the establishment number Canada 591 and were produced on February 2, 2015.

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection. Without the benefit of full inspection, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences. The products were shipped to retail locations in Washington. The issue was discovered when the import facility reported to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that product with an estimated arrival date of February 4, 2015, had not been received.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers.
