With many people staying home nowadays, more people are grocery shopping and eating at home. Because of that, it’s important to keep a lookout for recalled products, such as one that was recently recalled by the USDA earlier this month. In total, about 130,000 pounds of frozen chicken bowl meals have been recalled over concerns the products might contain extraneous materials, such as small rocks.

Unsure if you have the recalled products? Simply check the establishment number. According to the notice, the affected products have the establishment number ‘P115’ printed on the package. The frozen meals were shipped to retailers across the U.S. and Canada. For now, if you have the products you should throw them away or return them for a refund. Fortunately, there haven’t been reports of consumers experiencing adverse reactions from eating the meals.
