West Liberty Foods is recalling approximately 34,075 pounds of grilled chicken breast products it supplied to Subway restaurants. The recall was made because the products may be contaminated with pieces of plastic, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on April 23.
The grilled chicken patties subject to the recall were produced on February 4, 2015. The products subject to recall is described as: 25-lb. cardboard boxes containing 5-5lb plastic bags of “SUBWAY FULLY COOKED GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST PATTY WITH RIB MEAT”

mark of inspection. These items produced had been shipped to Subway restaurants
located in the states of Illinois, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Nebraska and Texas. West
Liberty Foods has already contacted the restaurants that have been impacted in
this recall.
The problem was discovered after West Liberty Foods received complaints from
consumers who had found small pieces of white plastic in the chicken product.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
