Kraft Foods has extended its recall of Oscar Mayer and Louis Rich chicken breast strips after Carolina Culinary Foods, an external manufacturer for Kraft, found Listeria monocytogenes in a package last week (18 February).

Originally, the recall only applied to chicken strips produced by Carolina Culinary Foods with the use by date of 19 April 2007. However, Kraft has expanded the scope of the recall to include all Kraft products made at that facility.
No other contaminated products have been found and no illnesses have been reported. Kraft said in a statement that it has taken this precautionary measure because the company’s “most important responsibility and highest priority is consumer and product safety and we would not allow any product to be sold if we believed it posed a health or safety risk.”
Kraft is therefore removing all code dates, sizes, and flavour varieties of Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich Chicken Breast Strips and Cuts from the marketplace.
Moreover, Kraft said that it is taking a number of “corrective actions” on its Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich Chicken Strips and Cuts business, to enhance and strengthen processing and programme controls.
