Kraft expands Chicken Strip recall

If you recall, last week we wrote about the Oscar Mayer chicken strip recall which was aimed at a specific batch of the product. Kraft Foods has since expanded the recall to include ALL code dates, sizes, and flavor varieties of their Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich Chicken Breast Strips and Cuts. Though they state that no traces of Listeria have been found anywhere other than in the original contaminated sample, they are voluntarily removing all product that was made at that facility as a precautionary measure.

As stated in a "Market Action Notice" on their website: "Kraft's most important responsibility and highest priority is consumer and product safety. We have a number of processes in place to ensure that our products meet the quality standards we have set and our consumers expect. We would not allow any product to be sold if we believed it posed a health or safety risk."

The recall now includes any of the product with a "best used by" date of May 28, 2007 or earlier.
