January 20, 2010 – Park 100 Foods, Inc., a Kokomo, Ind., establishment, is recalling approximately 19,200 pounds of frozen chicken pot pie products that may contain foreign materials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following product is subject to recall: 2.5-pound cartons of “Market Day®, CHICKEN POT PIE, Made With All White Chicken Meat.” Each carton bears a Julian date “28209” which is located on the right side panel, an order number “7138” and the establishment number “P-6882” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced by Park 100 Foods on October 9, 2009, and were distributed by Market Day through Internet or catalog sales in Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
The problem was discovered after Market Day received a customer complaint about finding metal straight pins in the product. FSIS has not received any consumer complaints or reports of injury at this time. Anyone concerned about an injury from consumption of this product should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers (including restaurants) of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers with questions about the recall should contact company Corporate Director of Quality Jim Fish at (317) 853-4280. Media with questions about the recall should contact company President Gary Meade at (317) 853-4202.

I am an employee of Park 100 Foods in Kokomo Indiana. I am proud to say that I work at such a wonderful establishment. It came as a shock to learn that we were having a recall on our product. To my belief, no individual inside of our facility would knowingly, and willfully contaminate any of the products we produce. We have many safety measures and take several steps to ensure the quality and safety of everything we ship out. To have something like this happen is unseen and unheard of in our company. This is our first recall on anything, and I just want to try to reassure any customer that may see this that we are taking care of this situation. We take this very seriuosly and are handing it with extreme care and promptness. We greatly thank all of you who are standing by our side through this. For the rest of you who are unsure of what to think or do, we would very much like to keep you as a business partner. To us at Park 100 Foods, you are not just a business partner, you are part of our family. Together we can spread happiness, and family gathering with every meal. Thank you all.
