TGI Friday’s Chicken Bites might have plastic. Over 26,000 pounds of them got recalled

About 26,550 pounds — or about 28,320 boxes — of TGI Friday’s Chicken Bites in Honey BBQ flavor have been recalled because the bites might be a bite into “clear, hard plastic.”

Manufacturer Simmons Prepared Foods made this not-food-in-your-food recall after letting the USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service that, the recall notice stated “it had received consumer complaints reporting that clear, hard plastic was found under the breading of the boneless chicken bites.”
