A California meat company on Friday voluntarily issued a recall for thousands of packages of frozen chicken products distributed to Trader Joe's grocery stores because they may have been contaminated with a harmful bacteria.


The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of 6,250 packages of "Trader Joe's, Teriyaki Chicken Wings & Drummettes," produced by Day-Lee Foods last August and distributed to grocery chain's stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.


The two-pound bags bear the code "EST. P-17309" inside the USDA mark of inspection and the code "2404DL1."


Mark Miller, general manager of Santa Fe Springs-based Day-Lee, said a sample of the chicken product was found last summer to contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause a potentially fatal disease, as well as symptoms such as fever, headaches, neck stiffness and nausea.
