Foster Farms Recalls 39,747 Pounds Of Cooked Frozen Chicken Strips For Possible Listeria Contamination – Consumerist

You may remember the name Foster Farms from the year-long salmonella outbreak that authorities finally linked to the company this past July. During a recent inspection, routine tests turned up Listeria Monocytogenes bacteria in frozen chicken strips shipped to warehouses in California, Texas, Utah, and Washington state.

What should consumers look for in their freezers? The affected chicken products are frozen pre-cooked chicken breast strips in a 3.5-pound resealable bag. They’ll have the establishment number P-33901 in the USDA inspection emblem, and the “best by” date is August 15, 2015. The strips were packed on August 4, 2014.

While frozen pre-cooked products like these might say “ready to eat” on the package, the U.S. Department of Agriculture still advises consumers to reheat such products “until steaming hot” to kill any pathogens in cases exactly like this one.
