What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy) and the source explicitly states there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for approximately 16,800 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) diced chicken products manufactured by BrucePac in Durant, Oklahoma. The product, identified as “GRILLED SEASONED NATURAL DICED CHICKEN BREAST WITH RIB MEAT,” was packed on June 22, 2020, and bears establishment number 51205/P-51205. The items were distributed in 25-lb. cardboard boxes containing 5-lb. bags with a code date of 06110D and a pack date of 06/22/20.

The alert was issued because the product may contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the label due to potential cross-contamination with a marinade. The issue was discovered during a product documentation review. The affected product was handed out to consumers in the Fort Worth, Texas area as part of a food bank program on June 29, 2020. No recall was requested because the product is not available for purchase in retail stores.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who received these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. Questions can be directed to BrucePac or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
