Price Chopper Issues Voluntary Recall

SCHENECTADY, NY (05/12/2008; 1700)(readMedia)-- As part of a precautionary multi-brand recall announced by Fairbank Farms of Ashville, NY, Price Chopper has issued a voluntary recall of pre-packaged 4pk and 8pk 80% lean ground chuck and 85% lean ground round patties and 4pk 90% lean ground sirloin patties with a bottom-of-the-package sell-by date of May 13. The recall is being conducted because the product may contain small pieces of hard plastic.
