WASHINGTON – Suzannah’s Kitchen, Duluth, Ga., recalled approximately 35,800 lbs. of breaded chicken products on concerns they may contain pieces of plastic, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The nuggets and patties subject to recall were produced on March 15, 2012, and Sept. 6, 2011, respectively. These products were produced for a separate federally-inspected establishment and distributed to retail stores nationwide, according to FSIS.
Consumer complaints alerted the company to the problem. Consumers were finding pieces of plastic in the products.
