52,000 pounds of chicken salad and dip that may contain plastic recalled from 9 states

The latest not-food-in-your-food recall comes from Willow Tree Poultry Farm, which recalled three kinds of chicken salad and two kinds of chicken dip.

Willow Tree salads and dips should come in plastic, not with plastic — and these might have “hard white plastic,” according to the USDA-written and posted recall notice.

“The problem was discovered after the company received a consumer complaint and notified” the USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service, the notice said.
