Houston Company Recalls Chicken Breasts for Allergens and Misbranding

HOUSTON, TX — Allergic reactions are a serious matter to many people, so companies take great pains to list ingredients on their products. Mistakes happen, however, and when they do, it pays to know about them.

According to the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, Houston-based Perfect Fit Meals failed to list wheat and milk as ingredients on packages of chicken breasts produced on December 20 and 21, 2016.

According to the USDA, the mislabeling was discovered by a distributor of the products, who noticed that though the affected packages are labeled "Lemon Pepper Chicken," they actually contain "Blackened Chicken Breast," a Perfect Fit Meals product that contains milk and wheat.

The recalled product bears establishment number “P-827” inside the USDA inspection mark. The items were reportedly shipped to military commissaries and retail establishments nationwide, Food Safety News reported.

No adverse reactions to the products have been reported. If you bought the affected item, throw them away or take them back to the place you purchased them.
