Chicken processing company Tip Top Poultry recalls its meat from stores over Listeria fears
Source: CNN
(CNN) Do you store chicken in your freezer? You might want to take a look at the label. In late September, Tip Top Poultry, Inc. issued a voluntary recall of all "cooked, hot deboned fowl meat" due to possible Listeria contamination. On Tuesday, Tip Top expanded it to include additional products and retailers.
Stores affected include Kroger, ALDI, Food Lion, and Piggly Wiggly, among others. The original recall included an undetermined amount of ready-to-eat poultry products including frozen cooked, diced, or shredded chicken distributed by brands including Butterball, Perdue, and Sysco. The recall includes any products produced at their Rockmart, Georgia, facility between January 22, 2019 and September 24, 2019.
Tip Top Poultry announced in a statement that it would be shutting down its poultry cooking line until the source of contamination has been identified and eliminated. "As a family business, we take food safety seriously because it is so critical to our own families and friends' health and safety in addition to anyone who consumes our products," said owner Brad Respess in the statement.
