Friday February 14, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) San Miguel Meats is recalling about 152,000
pounds of fresh and frozen young chickens that were incorrectly
branded as Cornish game hens.
The company is voluntarily recalling 9- to 19-pound boxes of La
Reina, Godorniz Para Asar and Small Chicken Wog, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said
Friday. Each box bears the number ``EST. P-4937'' inside the USDA
seal of inspection.
The products were produced from Sept. 4 to Jan. 2 and
distributed to stores in California and Arizona.
Consumers should return the product to the point of purchase,
said Garry L. McKee, the FSIS administrator.
Consumers with food safety questions can call the USDA Meat and
Poultry hot line at 1-800-535-4555.
