According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Wayne Farms LLC is now recalling 585,030 pounds of ready-to-eat frozen chicken breast fillets.
Wayne Farms reported that the ready-to-eat chicken may be undercooked.
This recall is an expansion of an earlier recall that called 30,285 pounds of the product into question.
