Simmons Foods is recalling more than 13 tons of TGI Friday's-branded boneless chicken bites sold by retailers nationwide following consumer complaints of plastic under the breading used in the products.
Distributed by Kraft Heinz to grocers including Amazon, Dollar General, Kroger, Publix, Target and Walmart, the chicken may contain fragments of plastic safety glasses, Simmons Foods said in a Dec. 15 news release. The issue was discovered after two individual customer complaints, the Siloam Springs, Arkansas-based supplier of poultry, pet and animal nutrition products stated.
The roughly 27,000 pounds of processed boneless chicken products being recalled were produced during a single shift on October 3, 2023, at the company's manufacturing plant in Van Buren, Arkansas, Simmons said.

We share our planet with maybe 10 million species of plants, animals, birds, fish, fungi and bugs. And to help identify them, millions of people are using a free phone app. "Currently we have about six million people using the platform every month," said Scott Loarie, the executive director of iNaturalist, a nonprofit.
