The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for a Kroger raw chicken breast product after a labeling error left eggs undeclared on the package. The product, a 21-ounce vacuum-packed package of Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat, was produced on June 2, 2026 and carried lot code 15326A.
The alert matters because shoppers in nine states could still have the chicken in a refrigerator or freezer, and people with egg allergies face the clearest risk if they do not notice the label problem. The affected package carries a best if used by date of June 28, 2026 and establishment number P-45288B.
Those states are Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington, where the product was sold at Kroger and Fred Meyer stores. A store employee found that the correct label was on the front of the product while the wrong label was on the back, and the retailer notified the producing establishment after the mistake was found.
That detail explains why this is a public health alert rather than a recall. The products were no longer available for purchase, so no recall was requested even though the chicken was misbranded and contained an undeclared allergen.
The producing establishment then notified FSIS, and the agency said there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions so far. Consumers who bought the chicken are being told not to eat it, and to throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
The unresolved question is not whether the label was wrong. It is how many packages made it into homes before the error was caught, and whether any remain tucked away long enough to reach someone with an egg allergy.
