The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for Weis Markets General Tso Chicken ready-to-eat meals because the label does not list milk as an ingredient.
Milk is a potential allergen. People who are allergic to or have a sensitivity to milk could have a serious and/or potentially life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the chicken.
The meals were prepared, labeled and sold in the deli area at Weis Markets stores between April 13, 2022, and May 11, 2022. The products have sell by dates of April 13, 2022 through May 15, 2022, and include;
- Weis General Tso Chicken family meal, serving size 1 cup, 500 calories
- Weis General Tso Chicken small meal, serving size 1 cup, 500 calories
- Weis General Tso Chicken meal, serving size 1 cup, 910 calories
These items were sold at Weis Markets’ retail delis in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
“The problem was discovered when Weis Markets in Sunbury, Pa. reported that they had been using correctly labeled, USDA inspected and passed chicken products containing milk ingredients but did not update their in-store labels for General Tso Chicken meals to include milk as an ingredient,” the FSIS reported.
While the products are no longer available to purchase, they could be in customers’ refrigerators. They can be returned to the place of purchase.
For more information, call Weis Markets at 866-999-9347, option 5, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
