Federal health officials recall chicken, other items in Washington

June 27, 2026 - 11:41

The Washington State Department of Health has announced a recall for several food products, including chicken, pasta salad, and raisins, due to the potential presence of undeclared ingredients. The affected items may contain allergens or substances not listed on their packaging, posing a risk to consumers with sensitivities or allergies.

Officials stated that the recall was initiated after routine inspections and testing revealed labeling discrepancies. The chicken products, along with the pasta salad and raisins, were distributed to retailers and grocery stores across the state. Specific brands and lot numbers have been identified, though the department has urged customers to check their refrigerators and pantries for any items matching the recall description.

The undeclared ingredients could include common allergens such as milk, soy, or wheat, which are not always obvious to consumers. Health authorities recommend that anyone who purchased these products return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of them immediately. Those who have consumed the items and experience symptoms like hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.

The Washington State Department of Health is working with federal partners to ensure the recalled items are removed from store shelves. Further updates will be provided as the investigation continues. Consumers with questions can contact the department directly for additional guidance.
