Multiple consumer complaints about rocks in a Trader Joe’s frozen chicken product have sparked a public warning from the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
A recall has not been initiated because it is believed that the implicated product is no longer available for purchase, according to the warning notice.
The ready-to-eat frozen product was distributed to Trader Joe’s stores nation wide. The product has the the establishment number “P-45322” inside of the USDA mark of inspection on its packaging. However, the warning notice did not include a best-by or use-by date for the product.
The frozen chicken product can be identified by the following label information: 14-oz. plastic packages containing “Trader Joe’s Chicken, Lentil, & Caramelized Onion Pilaf WITH SAFFRON BASMATI RICE, DARK CHICKEN MEAT, DATES & GOLDEN RAISINS.”
The product was manufactured on various dates from Nov. 1, 2023 through Jan. 19, 2024.
There is concern that consumers may still have the product in their home freezers. One consumer reported a dental injury from consuming the product.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. This product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase, according to the warning notice.
Consumers with questions about the public health alert can call the producing establishment, Mama Vicky’s, at 818-583-0003.
