Wegmans Food Markets Inc. is recalling about 1,125 pounds of marinated chicken products shipped to six states, including Virginia.
A federal inspector found the Rochester, New York-based chain altered its production schedule and produced chicken products outside the approved hours of operation. These products consequently were never inspected.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
Jo Natale, vice president of media relations, said Wegmans is placing automated phone calls to customers who purchased the affected products.
