Plain-English summary

Advance Pierre Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 54,699 pounds of chicken products, including Chicken Tenders Sea Salt and Ground Pepper and Premium Entrée Traditional Sage Raw Breaded Dark Meat Chicken. The recall was initiated because the products may contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels.

The affected items were produced between February 14 and May 24, 2017, and bear establishment number P-276 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These products were shipped to food service locations in California, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The issue was discovered on June 6, 2017, after an ingredient supplier notified the company that the bread crumbs used in the products potentially contained undeclared milk.
