By Meatingplace Editors on 4/24/2015

West Liberty Foods' Tremonton, Utah, plant is recalling some 34,075 pounds of grilled chicken breast products that may be contaminated with pieces of plastic, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The grilled chicken patties were produced on Feb. 4. Subject to recall are:

  • 25-lb. cardboard boxes containing 5-5lb plastic bags of “SUBWAY FULLY COOKED GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST PATTY WITH RIB MEAT”

The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 34349 or P-34349” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items produced were shipped to restaurants in Illinois, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Texas. The company has already contacted the restaurants impacted in this recall.

The problem was discovered after the company received complaints from consumers who found small pieces of white plastic in the product.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
