The patty products were shipped to Costco distribution centers and may have been further distributed to Costco retail locations.
The problem was reported to FSIS after the company received consumer complaints reporting hard clear plastic embedded in the chicken patties.
While there have been no reports of injury, FSIS believes the plastic pieces could be sharp and possibly cause an injury.
There is concern that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. If you have purchased these chicken patties you are urged not to consume them.
These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
