Conagra Brands is recalling more than 270,000 pounds of Healthy Choice brand chicken and turkey bowl products because of consumer complaints about rocks in the products.
The recall follows an initial recall on April 20 when Conagra recalled more than 130,000 pounds of similar products that have different date and production codes. As of the posting of the recall notice Friday night no illnesses or injuries had been confirmed in relation to the implicated products.
“The problem was discovered when the firm received additional consumer complaints about rocks being in the products and the firm then notified FSIS of the issue,” according to the recall posted by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
“FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
The scope of the April 20 recall is being expanded to include products produced at two different plants. Conagra reported the items were shipped to retail locations nationwide in the United States and exported to Canada.
The recall now includes Healthy Choice Power Bowls Chicken Feta & Farro Bowls, Healthy Choice Power Bowls Unwrapped Burrito Scramble Power Bowls, and Healthy Choice Power Bowls Turkey Sausage & Egg Scramble Power Bowls produced on various dates.
