Chicken products recalled

An Alabama company is recalling more than 940,000 pounds of chicken products -- including gizzards, liver, hearts and necks – after a problem was discovered with sorting equipment.

The products would have been sold to restaurants or other industrial food preparers, according to the state Department of Health, but not at grocery stores.

Cagle’s Inc., based in Collinsville, Ala., announced that it will voluntarily recall the products after an inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Services.

According to a statement released by the USDA, Cagle’s installed new sorting equipment in November, but, according to the FSIS inspection, the equipment was not properly sorting the organs from condemned carcasses from those meant to enter the food supply.

The recall affects products sold between Dec. 3, 2007 and March 12, 2008. No illnesses have been reported.
