Texas company recalls chicken items

HARLINGEN, Texas — A Texas company is recalling nearly 50 tons of chicken products due to misbranding and the labels not indicating the items contain an allergen — eggs.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the recall involves Vics Acquisition of Harlingen.

A company that Vics Acquisition co-packs for discovered the problem Friday. The USDA was notified Saturday. Officials have no reports of anyone getting sick.

The products, Happi Foodi Bloody Mary Inspired Chicken, Southeast Grocers Brand Marsala Chicken and Southeast Grocers Brand Mediterranean Herb Chicken items were produced Aug. 7 through Oct. 15.

The products include 1½ pound packages of frozen steam bag meals with various lot codes and the establishment number P-34622. Use-by dates range from last Thursday through April 15.

Happi Foodi items were shipped nationwide. Southeast Grocers Brand products went to retailers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.
