Approximately 554,090 pounds of poultry products are being recalled, that were produced between 17-18 September 2015. The items were shipped to processing facilities in Georgia and Louisiana.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, but the recall is happening to prevent any illness.
