Plain-English summary

National Steak and Poultry, an establishment in Owasso, Oklahoma, is recalling approximately 1,993,528 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken products.

The products are subject to recall due to adulteration from possible undercooking, which creates the potential for the survival of bacterial pathogens. The recall was initiated after food service customers complained that the product appeared to be undercooked. The affected items bear establishment number P-6010T inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to food service locations nationwide, with some sold directly to retail consumers at the establishment's monthly dock sale.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse health effects or illnesses due to consumption of the recalled products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
