Nearly 250,000 pounds of Banquet frozen chicken strip entrees are being recalled across the U.S. because the products may contain “extraneous materials.”
The United States Department of Agriculture reported Saturday, Sept. 4, that cartons of the Banquet brand’s frozen “Chicken Strips Meal” are being recalled and should not be consumed. The products, sold online and at retailers across the U.S., may be contaminated with harmful materials, “specifically pieces of plastic,” the USDA says.
