The largest chicken producer in the United States has recalled millions of pounds of cooked chicken product.
Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation—also known as Pilgrim’s—announced on April 26 that “4,568,080 pounds of fully cooked chicken products” are subject to a Class I recall.
According to the USDA’s website, a Class I recall “is a health hazard situation” where the use of the product “will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
Materials including plastic, wood, rubber, and metal may have contaminated chicken products that were produced for almost a two year period: August 2014 through March 2016.
