USDA Issues Food Safety Alert for Allen Family Foods White Chicken Chili Sold at Costco
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on November 9 for Allen Family Foods white chicken chili with bell peppers, corn and white beans, saying the product was not presented for import reinspection as required but had already reached store shelves at select Costco locations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
According to the alert, the affected products carry lot codes E225077, E225079, E225080, E225081 and E225083. Because the required import reinspection was not completed, the products do not meet federal inspection requirements, and the agency is urging the public not to eat them. No confirmed reports of adverse reactions had been received when the alert was issued.
FSIS says consumers who bought the chicken chili should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase. The notice was issued as a public health alert rather than a formal recall, and consumers are asked to check lot codes on any product they have at home.
