Also, check for the establishment number "P-7221" on the back of the product package. The chicken strips were shipped to retail and Department of Defense locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when FSIS received two consumer complaints of extraneous material in the chicken strip products. FSIS is now aware of six complaints during this time frame involving similar pieces of metal with three alleging oral injury.
