TGI Fridays Chicken Bites Recalled Due to Possible Plastic Contamination

The products subject to recall bear establishment number "P-20287" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

Potentially undercooked ready-to-eat chicken breast prompts recall.

The problem was discovered when Simmons Prepared Foods, which manufactures the product, notified FSIS that it received consumer complaints reporting that clear, hard plastic was found under the breading of the boneless chicken bites.

There have been no confirmed reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
