“Erie Meat Products Recalls Chicken Bologna Products Imported Without FSIS Inspection.” GovInfoNow, updated October 6, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275136-erie-meat-products-recalls-chicken-bologna-products-imported-without-fsis. Based on USDA FSIS recall #045-2021 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/erie-meat-products-ltd.-recalls-chicken-bologna-products-imported-without-benefit).

Why it’s dangerous

The products were imported without the benefit of USDA FSIS reinspection, meaning they lack a required USDA inspection mark. This import violation could potentially lead to food safety issues if the products were consumed without proper quality checks, though no adverse reactions have been reported.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased these chicken bologna products in the US, particularly those in correctional facilities in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. People who have the products in institutional freezers are at higher risk as they may not be served.
