Recall products bear the P-17453 plant number within the USDA control mark. These items were shipped to a distributor in Michigan.
The problem was discovered after the company had received a complaint from a customer claiming that she had received fully cooked grilled chicken strips instead of fully diced white chicken meat. FSIS was notified on March 22, 2019.
No cases of adverse effect related to the consumption of these products has been confirmed. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products will end up in the freezers of restaurants and warehouses. Restaurants that have purchased these products are urged not to use them. These products must be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely performs recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling companies are reporting the recall to their customers and that steps are being taken to ensure that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
