recalling approximately 245,366 pounds of frozen chicken strips entree products that may be 

contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically pieces of plastic, the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

of plastic in the chicken strip portion of the product, which resulted in an oral injury associated 

with consumption of this product. 

FSIS has received no additional reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products. 

Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. 

FSIS is concerned that some product 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. 

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their 

customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer 

available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS 

website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls. 

The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. P-9" printed on the side of the
