Chicken Recall

Another week - another food recall.

This time it's the six-ounce package of "OSCAR MAYER/LOUIS RICH CHICKEN BREAST STRIPS WITH RIB MEAT, GRILLED, FULLY COOKED -- READY TO EAT." Each package has the number "P-19676" inside the USDA inspection mark on front and a use-by-date of "19 Apr 2007" on back.
The worry, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a sample of the meat tested in Georgia was contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes That can cause listeriosis, a rare but serious infection. There have been no reported cases of illness.
If you've got questions about the recall contact Kraft Consumer Response at (800) 871-7117.
