Hope I"m posting this in the right place..if it needs to be moved to feeding please do so and I am sorry for the mistake! :)

Here's the info from their website: (www.oscarmayer.com)

Kraft’s most important responsibility and highest priority is consumer and product safety. We have a number of processes in place to ensure that our products meet the quality standards we have set and our consumers expect. We would not allow any product to be sold if we believed it posed a health or safety risk.
On February 18th, Carolina Culinary Foods (CCF), an external manufacturer for Kraft Foods, issued a recall for the Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich Chicken Breast Strips - Grilled, with a "Best When Used By" date of 19 APR 2007" because of a finding of Listeria monocytogenes in a single package. Kraft responded immediately and deployed its sales organization to implement the recall.
While we have had no reports of listeriosis associated with the February 18th recall and have had no other findings of Listeria in our product, our subsequent evaluation has led us to conclude that as a precautionary measure we should expand the scope of our initial action to include all our products made at that facility.
Effective immediately, all code dates, sizes, and flavor varieties of Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich Chicken Breast Strips and Cuts with a "Best When Used By" date of 28 MAY 2007 or earlier, are being removed from the marketplace
We emphasize that this action concerns only Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich Chicken Breast Strips and Cuts with a "Best When Used By" date of 28 MAY 2007 or earlier, and that no other Oscar Mayer or Louis Rich products are impacted by this market action.
This site provides further details about the removal. If you have additional questions, send us an email or call 800-308-1841.
