The products subject to recall bear the establishment number "EST. P-9" printed on the side of the carton. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide and were also sold online.
The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it received a consumer complaint of plastic in the chicken strip portion of the product, which resulted in an oral injury associated with the consumption of the product, the USDA said, noting that FSIS has received no additional reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products.
FSIS said it is concerned that some products may be in consumers' freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
