Plain-English summary

Pasture Raised Foods, LLC, doing business as Greener Pastures Chicken, is recalling an undetermined amount of frozen raw whole poultry products. The company, a grower/non-inspected processor located in Elgin, Texas, produced these items without the benefit of federal inspection. The recalled products are vacuum-sealed packages containing one whole chicken with the head and feet removed.

The products were produced between November 29, 2018, and May 24, 2019. They were shipped to retail, wholesale, and restaurant locations, as well as individual households in Texas. The issue was identified when FSIS inspection personnel found products bearing an unapproved label with a USDA establishment number (USDA P-34438) that was not authorized for these uninspected items.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
