National Steak and Poultry issued a recall of more 1.9 million pounds of its ready-to-eat chicken products, the Unites States Department of Agriculture said Monday. The products are sold as fully cooked for consumers to heat and serve, but they may be undercooked. Undercooked poultry can harbor bacteria that can lead to gastrointestinal illness. The USDA Food Safety Inspection Service said the recall was issued, "due to adulteration because of possible undercooking, resulting in the potential survival of bacterial pathogens in the products." The announcement expands a recall first issued November 23 by the Oklahoma-based company. That recall included 17,439 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken parts for the same reason. The total amount of products now subject to the recall is estimated to be 1,993,528 pounds. The expansion was prompted by a November 28 complaint from a customer about undercooked products, according to the USDA.
