FRESNO, CA (NBC) - Dozens of Foster Farms chicken products are being recalled because of salmonella contamination.
The recalled products were produced in plants in California and distributed nationally.
Foster Farms voluntarily agreed to recall chicken products produced in March.
The recall products have an establishment number 'p6137,' p6137a' or 'p7632' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
It was produced at Central Valley plants, including Fresno.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service says the chicken is likely not being sold in stores anymore.
But could be in consumers freezers - a big concern this 4th of July holiday.
The chicken products would have 'use or freeze by' dates ranging from March 21st to March 29th.
They were sold in stores like Costco and Foodmaxx, as well as other retail stores.
One person became ill after eating a boneless skinless chicken breast in May.
In a statement, the Compa says, 'At Foster Farms, our first concern is always the health and safety of the people who enjoy our products.'
Last year, a salmonella contamination sickened hundreds across the country.
But until this point, the Food Safety and Inspection Service says they could not link the illness to a specific product.
