Kroger (NYSE:KR) chicken alert puts Private Selection label controls in focus
Kroger Co faces a contained but useful supply-chain test after U.S. food-safety officials warned consumers about a mislabeled Private Selection chicken product whose best-by date fell on Sunday, three days after the federal alert became active. The hard facts are narrow: one named SKU, one lot code, nine states, two Kroger banners and no confirmed adverse reactions in public reports. The product is 21-ounce vacuum-packed Private Selection Honey Dijon Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat, lot 15326A, establishment P-45288B, best if used by June 28, 2026. It was sold at Kroger and Fred Meyer stores in Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington.
