According to the recall, the recalled chicken was sold in cases that were shipped to institutional food service locations nationwide and some schools but were not packaged for retail sale.

The frozen food was produced on Feb. 28th and packaged in cases that contained four 8.2-pound bags in each case. The cases read, "Fully Cooked, Whole Grain Golden Crispy Chicken Chunk Fritters" with a case code 0599NHL02.
