Empire Kosher Poultry is recalling 10,839 pounds of raw chicken that may be contaminated with metal.

The raw chicken products were distributed to retailers nationwide, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Thursday.

Five chicken breast products are under the recall:

– Empire Kosher Natural Chicken Breasts (4 to 5.25 lb. tray) code 46375, sell-by date 11/14/17

The problem was discovered on November 2, 2017 by an establishment employee who observed metal foreign material in a chicken breast while performing routine duties. The establishment took corrective actions to recover products before reaching commerce.
