Ton of chicken tenders recalled after consumer complaint

After a consumer complaint, Schreiber Processing Corp. in Maspeth, NY, has recalled  2,330 pounds of chicken tender products that may be contaminated with plastic and misbranded, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The breaded chicken breast tenders were produced on Dec. 8, 2016, and packaged on Dec. 9, 2016. The following product is subject to recall:

• 10-pound boxes containing “Meal Mart BATTERED & BREADED CHICKEN BREAST TENDERS” with the item code 03-CTB and the production code 0246

The recalled products have the establishment number “P-787” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to institutional and retail locations in New Jersey, New York and Washington including these restaurants: Affordable Kosher, Seattle; Meal Mart, Flushing, NY; Mountain Fresh, Brooklyn; Riverdale Kosher, Riverdale, NY; and Kosher World, Far Rockway, NY.

There are not yet any  confirmed reports of injury or illness 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.

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.
