Chili that the USDA bought for school lunches recalled after plastic spotted in the food
A not-food-in-your-food recall hit about 22,530 pounds of chili bought for the USDA’s National School Lunch Program after “a customer complaint about semi-rigid white plastic material” in the chili.
Sunday’s USDA’s notice announced J.T.M. Provisions Company’s recall of ready-to-eat frozen beef chili with beans.
USDA Foods bought the 30-pound cases, each with six 5-pound boilable bags, with lot No. 23058 and February 27, 2023, on the cases. The chili went to distributors in California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Wisconsin.
