Chicken Recall Over Listeria

By Bill Marler, Esq.

In what appears to be three separate recalls due to Listeria, several firms are recalling chicken products sent to several states.

Gourmet Boutique LLC of Jamaica, N.Y., recalled 6,970 pounds of 12 meat and poultry products, which each bear the production code GBD 08058 on the package. These products, which are mostly chicken but also include meatloaf and turkey, were sent to stores in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wisconsin, as well as distribution centers in New York.

In separate announcements this week, three importers recalled 16,332 pounds of Discover Cuisine Red Curry Chicken & Jasmine Rice, with a best buy date of December 18. This was sent to stores nationwide. This product's recall includes 3,780 pounds from Inovata Foods of Alberta, Canada; 10,368 pounds from Costco Wholesale of Issaquah, Wash., and 2,184 pounds from Meijer Distribution Center of Grand Rapids, Mich.

In addition, Stop & Shop is voluntarily recalling four types of prepared chicken sold at deli counters. The Stop & Shop recall covers all of the following items sold on or after February 26.  It is unclear if this recall is related to the others directly.
