Nearly 200,000 pounds of Chilean chicken is being recalled in the United States for dioxins only because the levels found violate Chile’s domestic limits, according to federal food safety officials.

In other words, the 126,000 pounds of chicken currently being held at the border is there only because Chile recalled it, not because the U.S. Department of Agriculture thinks it’s a public health risk. In fact, when the same dioxin levels are found in U.S. product, it does not spark a domestic recall, according to Dan Engeljohn, Assistant Administrator of the Office of Field Operations at the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

“Although we would likely not have recalled this same product for that level, we made the determination, based on their decision to recall the product, that it is adulterated,” Engeljohn told Food Safety News.

Dioxins are toxic environmental contaminants that are both naturally occurring, from wild fires and volcanic eruptions, but also the result of industrial activities and waste incineration.

When FSIS issued a press release over the weekend informing the public about the Chilean recall, the agency did not say at what level dioxins had been found in Chile, only stating that the agency had “determined that the risk to consumers is negligible.” The agency also said it is tracking down some 62,000 pounds of the product that did enter the U.S.

Dr. David Goldman, Assistant Administrator for the Office of Public Health Science at FSIS, told Food Safety News on Tuesday that Chilean health authorities found 5.1 picograms per kilogram (pg/kg) in their tests, which he said is only “slightly above” Chile’s maximum residue limit (MRL) of 3.5 pg/kg.
