OK Food Inc. recalls breaded chicken products due to possible foreign matter contamination

Posted
OK Food Inc. announced Monday the recall of about 933,272 pounds of breaded chicken products that officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service believe could be contaminated with extraneous materials. The ready-to-eat breaded chicken items were produced on various dates between Dec. 19, 2016, through March 7. The products subject to recall bear establishment number "P-7092" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. OK Foods received five consumer complaints stating that metal objects were found in ready-to-eat chicken products by the FSIS inspection personnel during verification activities before March 21. After an internal investigation, the firm identified the affected product and determined that the objects in all the complaints came from metal conveyor belting. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. 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. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Abby Brown at (479) 312-2409.
