Indiana Company Recalls Chicken Strips

Last updated on Monday, September 17, 2012

(MILFORD) - Serenade Foods out of Milford, IN is recalling 2,250 pounds of crunchy chicken strip products.

Officials say the chicken may contain foreign materials, including fragments of plastic.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall last night.

The recalled products are 7.5 lb cases containing 30-oz. cartons of Milford Valley Farms Crunchy Chicken Strips.

The cartons bear the establishment number "P-2375" inside the USDA mark of inspection and the UPC code 0-73981-32286-7. The products have a use by date of Jan. 17, 2014. The products were packaged on Jan. 17, 2012 and shipped to a distributor in Lakeland, Florida for further distribution.

The company alerted FSIS of the problem after receiving two consumer complaints. FSIS and the firm have received no reports of injury or illnesses associated with consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks (including at restaurants) to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
