“All Peoples Food Smoked Chicken Recall: Undeclared MSG.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275895-all-peoples-food-smoked-chicken-recall-undeclared-msg. Based on USDA FSIS recall #104-2018 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/recall-notification-report-104-2018-smoked-whole-chicken-products).
Why it’s dangerous
The product contains monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is not listed on the ingredient label. This misbranding poses a risk to consumers who need to avoid MSG due to dietary restrictions or sensitivities, as they cannot identify its presence by reading the package.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased 32-lb. bulk boxes of All Peoples Food Smoked Whole Chicken between September 4 and September 25, 2018. Individuals with specific sensitivities or allergies to MSG are the primary group at risk for adverse reactions.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for fully cooked, frozen smoked whole chicken in 32-lb. bulk boxes with plastic lining containing 155 pieces. The label will read "ALL PEOPLES FOOD SMOKED WHOLE CHICKEN" and bear establishment number P-46803 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were produced from September 4, 2018, through September 25, 2018.
