Costco Is Recalling This Frozen Item Because It May Contain Plastic
Costco recently announced several recalls to know about before your next trip to the warehouse. The recalled products include beans, butter, sweet treats, and even vitamins. Now, one more savory item has been added to the list because it may contain plastic.
The Don Lee Green Chili Shredded Chicken & Rice Cauliflower Bowls that are being recalled come in packages of four. The microwavable meals contain chicken, riced cauliflower, cheddar cheese, green chili peppers, onions, garlic, and lime juice.
"Our supplier, Pacific Meridian Group, is recalling their green chili (used as an ingredient in this item) due to the potential presence of plastic," Don Lee Farms says in the recall announcement sent to Costco members who purchased the product between May 22 and June 15, 2021.
