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

Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for Wegmans Jamaican Jerk-style, raw, marinated chicken products. The alert was issued because the marinade may contain milk, soy, and wheat, which are known allergens not declared on the product labels. The affected products were produced on August 16, 2023, and include 1-lb. vacuum-packed packages of Chicken Thighs and Chicken Breast Cutlets with a use-by date of 9/6/23.
The issue was identified after the establishment notified FSIS of an equipment malfunction that may have caused cross-contamination with these allergens. The products were shipped to retail locations in Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. FSIS noted that a formal recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase, but some items may still be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consuming these products. Consumers who purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
