Summary

Winter Gardens Quality Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 3,710 pounds of 'Southwest Chicken Salad' sold in 10-lb. bulk plastic tubs. The products, which were shipped to a distributor in Pennsylvania for further processing, may be contaminated with hard plastic pieces from a packaging defect in the oil used to make the salad. Consumers who possess these bulk tubs should not eat the salad and instead throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
