December 6, 2010 by Essentials Staff Leave a Comment

RECALLED – Two popular Bumble Bee Chicken Salad “Ready to Eat” products have been recalled after reports of hard plastic in the chicken salad.
The USDA has announced the recall of two Bumble Bee Chicken Salad products amid concerns that some 72,000 pounds of canned chicken salad may contain pieces of plastic.
The products being recalled are 8.2 ounce packages of “Bumble Bee Lunch on the Run Chicken Salad Complete Lunch Kit” and 3.6 ounce packages of “Bumble Bee Chicken Salad with Crackers.”
The “Bumble Bee Lunch on the Run Chicken Salad Complete Lunch Kit” includes a 2.9 ounce can of Bumble Bee Chicken Salad along with crackers, mixed fruit, a cookie and a spoon. The package label indicates the product is “mixed and ready to eat” and has a “best by” date of 07/11.
The “Bumble Bee Chicken Salad with Crackers” contains a 2.9 ounce of Bumble Bee Chicken Salad and crackers. The package label indicated the product is “ready to eat” and has a “best by” date of 01/12 or 02/12.
The cans of chicken salad bear the establishment number “P-169” inside the USDA mark of inspection and the lot code “0225XXQBC” printed on the package. The chicken salad products were assembled between Aug. 14 and Aug. 28 and shipped to distributors and retail stores nationwide.
Anyone having the recalled products is urged to return them to the store where they were purchased.
All of the products were manufactured by Illinois-based The Suter Company, Inc.
The problem was discovered following consumer complaints about finding hard plastic in the product. No reports of injury as a result of the plastic have been reported at this time.
Anyone concerned about a possible injury from consumption of this product should contact a physician.
