Trader Joe’s RTE Chicken Receives FSIS Public Health Alert

Both the Safeway and Wayne Farms recalls followed a public health alert issued by the FSIS on April 28 over two Trader Joe’s ready-to-eat frozen chicken products it says did not “receive the benefit of import reinspection.” 

The Trader Joe’s products were not recalled because they are no longer available for purchase, according to the FSIS public health alert. 

The frozen chicken products in question are “TRADER JOES BUTTER CHICKEN WITH BASMATI RICE” with best-buy dates of April 14, 2023, and April 16, 2023, and “TRADER JOES MINI CHICKEN TIKKA SAMOSAS” with a best-buy date of April 14, 2023, according to the public health alert. 

The FSIS says it is concerned that the product, while no longer being sold, could still be in consumers’ freezers and is advising they not be consumed and instead thrown out or returned to their original place of purchase. 

Trader Joe’s issued a recall in March for its Crunchy Slaw with Chicken, Crispy Noodles & Peanut Dressing over concerns it was contaminated with hard pieces of plastic.
