Palama Holdings, LLC, a Kapolei, HI, establishment, is recalling approximately 3,600 pounds of raw, frozen marinated chicken products because they may have experienced temperature abuse in the distribution chain. The products subject to recall are 10-lb. cardboard boxes containing four individual cryovac-sealed packages, 5-lb. cardboard boxes containing two individual cryovac sealed packages, and 2-lb. cardboard boxes containing one cryovac sealed package of May’s Hawaii “Hawaiian Style, Boneless and Skinless Teriyaki Chicken Thighs.” The products were produced Oct. 15, 2013, and Nov. 5, 2013, then were distributed for retail sale in the Hawaiian islands of Oahu, Maui and Kauai and to a nearby military commissary. The packages bear the establishment number “EST. P-11077” in the USDA mark of inspection on the package. The problem was discovered during shipment when the company’s distributor observed boxes of product swollen with gases from the bagged chicken, an indication that there may have been temperature abuse during storage prior to product distribution. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
