Why it’s dangerous

The hazard is misbranding, specifically the failure to state on the label that the chickens were slaughtered under a religious exemption. This does not pose a direct physical health risk like contamination, but it affects the accuracy of product information for consumers with specific dietary needs.

Who’s affected

Consumers in California who purchased Primal Pastures chicken products distributed by Victor's Market Company are affected. Individuals who require food prepared according to specific religious dietary laws may be most impacted by the labeling error.

How to tell if you have this one

Look for approximately 50-lb. box packages of Primal Pastures Chicken products (Whole, Back, Wing, Thigh, Neck, Head, Feet, Drumstick, or Breast) produced between April 10, 2015, and July 20, 2015. Verify the establishment number P-6087 inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
