Santa Rosa Foods is recalling its 1kg manuka smoked chicken after discovering that the product "may appear to be undercooked", according to the Ministry for Primary Industries.
The chicken has been sold nationwide in Pak N'Save supermarkets, including Dunedin, and Countdown stores including Oamaru, Gore and Invercargill.
MPI said the chicken should not be eaten if it had the batch number 169052 and a best-before date of January 1, 2016.
"There have been no reports of illness, however any person concerned about their health should seek medical advice."
People who have bought the chicken can call 0800 736728 to get a full refund.
The recall does not affect any of the Christchurch brand's other products and the chicken is not exported.
It is the third time MPI has recalled a product in less than two weeks.
On Wednesday, Beehive shaved Champagne ham was recalled because it could contain listeria, and on December 4, Fruzio frozen berries were recalled after they were linked to four cases of Hepatitis A.
Where was the chicken sold?
The chicken has been sold at New World, Pak'n Save and Countdown supermarkets across New Zealand, and one Four Square store in Coopers Beach, Northland.
New World supermarkets that have sold the chicken are Albany, Birkenhead, Browns Bay, Mt Roskill, Remuera, Whakatane, New Plymouth and Masterton.
Pak'n Save stores are Wairau, Sylvia Park, Albany, Silverdale, Tamatea, Te Awamutu and Dunedin.
