USDA issues public health alert for Kroger and Fred Meyer chicken breasts with undeclared egg

USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat sold at Kroger and Fred Meyer after the package was found to contain an undeclared egg allergen.

The alert covers 21-ounce vacuum-packed chicken breasts produced on June 2, 2026, with lot code 15326A, establishment number P-45288B and a best-by date of June 28, 2026. The product was distributed to stores in Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington.

What went wrong

According to the verified reporting, a store employee noticed that the front label on the chicken was correct but the back label carried the wrong ingredient panel. The back label reportedly referenced Private Selection Teriyaki Skirt Steak instead of the chicken product, leaving egg undeclared on the package.

That creates a risk for people with egg allergies, who could have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they eat the product.

What consumers should do

No adverse reactions have been reported so far. FSIS said consumers with egg allergies should not eat the product and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.

The alert is not being treated as a recall because the product is no longer available for sale, though it may still be in homes or freezers.

Kroger’s Private Selection brand is sold through Kroger and Fred Meyer stores, which are both named in the alert.

Consumers checking their kitchens should look for the 21-ounce Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat package with lot code 15326A and establishment number P-45288B.
