Chicken -- With a Side of Plastic
Posted by: Dr. Mercola

Nestle has recalled 900,000 pounds worth of Lean Cuisine brand frozen chicken dinners following reports of small chunks in the meals. The frozen dinners were distributed nationwide, and at least one person has reported an injury.

So far, the blue plastic has been found in three Lean Cuisine dinners -- Cafe Classics Pesto Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta, Spa Cuisine Chicken Mediterranean and Dinnertime Selects Chicken Tuscan.

The USDA considered the blue plastic a potential health threat and has ranked the recall as Class I, which means that there is considered to be a “reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” Amanda Eamich, spokesperson for the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, noted that, “It could cause injury -- a piece of plastic could cut your mouth, it could scratch your throat.”
