Summary

Oberto Brands is recalling approximately 57,578 pounds of Smokey Sweet BBQ Style and Spicy Buffalo Style Chicken Strips sold in various film bag sizes ranging from 2.75 oz to 16 oz. These products, bearing establishment number P4837, were sold nationwide at retail stores and through internet sales between May and August 2014. The recall was initiated due to a processing deviation that caused increased water activity, resulting in quality issues such as bloated packaging.

Risk

The product experienced a process deviation that led to increased water activity, which can cause packages to bloat. While the company has determined there are no immediate food safety hazards, the defect represents a significant quality control failure.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for Oberto brand Chicken Strips in 'Smokey Sweet BBQ Style' or 'Spicy Buffalo Style' flavors.
  2. Verify if the package bears the establishment number 'P4837' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  3. Identify affected Spicy Buffalo Style strips by looking for 'BEST BY' dates of 'AUG 06, 2015' or packaging dates between May 16, 2014, and August 6, 2014.
  4. Identify affected Smokey Sweet BBQ Style strips by looking for packaging dates between May 14, 2014, and July 28, 2014.
