Lubbock, TEXAS – United Supermarkets, LLC, tonight has issued a voluntary withdrawal of 13 products due to a possible food safety issue with steamed chicken provided by a single provider.
There has been no evidence of any foodborne illness resulting from the products thus far, but the company is being proactive as a precaution, according to Chris St. Clair, executive vice president of information and logistics for United Supermarkets, LLC.
“We are issuing this recall with an abundance of caution, as testing of the product in our supply chain has not revealed evidence of undercooked chicken apart from an initial report,” St. Clair explained. “However, because we are committed to providing the best service and safest products for our guests, we feel this action is warranted.”
The products in question would have been available for purchase at any United Supermarkets, Market Street or Amigos location between Monday and Friday of this week (Jan. 28 – Feb. 1). They would bear a United, Market Street or Amigos label and generally have a four-day shelf life.
Products affected are:
- Chicken Enchilada Dip
- Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Santa Barbara Lite Chicken Salad
- Classic Lite Chicken Salad
- Classic Chicken Salad
- Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas
- Green Chile Chicken Quesadillas
- Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
