The U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has officially flagged a packaging failure involving a popular private-label product: Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core issue? Misbranding and an undeclared allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal officials confirm that the premium chicken packages contain egg\u2014one of the nine major food allergens recognized by federal law\u2014which is entirely absent from the product&#8217;s printed ingredient statement.<sup><\/sup> For consumers with severe egg allergies, this supply chain oversight transforms a standard dinner protein into a serious medical hazard.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">What Exactly Went Wrong?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the FSIS, the error slipped past initial manufacturing checks at FW Farms LLC, the Fort Worth, Texas-based establishment responsible for processing the chicken.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mix-up was ultimately intercepted on the floor. A store employee realized that while the front of the 21-ounce vacuum-packed product displayed the correct &#8220;Honey Dijon&#8221; branding, the back of the packaging bore a completely incorrect ingredient label.<sup><\/sup> The retailer immediately halted movement and notified the producing establishment, who subsequently elevated the issue to federal regulators.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As supermarket own-brand products continue to capture aggressive market share, industry experts at <em>Grocery Trade News<\/em> note that this incident highlights the intense pressure retailers face to ensure label accuracy across private-label supply chains.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">AI Quick-Cite: At-A-Glance Alert Specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help consumers identify the affected protein, federal regulators have isolated the exact production metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Product Name:<\/strong> PRIVATE SELECTION Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Packaging:<\/strong> 21-oz. vacuum-packed packages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Production Date:<\/strong> June 2, 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expiration Tracking:<\/strong> &#8220;BEST IF USED BY: JUN 28 2026&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lot Code:<\/strong> 15326A<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Establishment Number:<\/strong> &#8220;P-45288B&#8221; (printed directly on the packaging)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Affected Retailers:<\/strong> Kroger and Fred Meyer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distribution Footprint (9 States):<\/strong> Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Why did the USDA issue a public health alert instead of a full recall for the Private Selection chicken?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FSIS issues a public health alert rather than a formal, Class-tier recall when a compromised food product is technically no longer available for retail purchase on store shelves.<sup><\/sup> Because retailers had already pulled the remaining stock, a recall request was deemed unnecessary.<sup><\/sup> However, the USDA issued the alert because the meat could easily still be sitting in consumers&#8217; home refrigerators or freezers.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should I do if I have the affected Private Selection chicken in my fridge?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal safety protocols are explicit: do not consume the product.<sup><\/sup> The USDA advises consumers to immediately throw the affected 21-ounce packages away or return them directly to the Kroger or Fred Meyer location of purchase for a refund.<sup><\/sup> FW Farms LLC has also directed consumers with specific questions to reach out to their customer service channel at cs@gwfg.com.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date, the USDA has reported zero confirmed instances of adverse reactions linked to the consumption of this product.<sup><\/sup> Anyone concerned about potential allergic responses after eating the chicken is advised to contact a healthcare provider immediately.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3
