The FSIS says the products impacted by the recall have establishment number “EST. P-9” printed on the side of the carton. These products were shipped to retail stores across the country and were also sold online. The contamination was discovered when Conagra Brands notified the FSIS that it received a consumer complaint of plastic in the chicken strip portion of the product. This resulted in an oral injury in association with eating the product.
The FSIS says it has not received any other reports of injury or illness in connection to people consuming these entrées. Those with concerns about an injury or illness are encouraged to reach out to a healthcare provider.
People are also urged by the FSIS to check their freezers at this time to see if they contain the recalled product. The product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
