Ivonne, it came up on my other half's phone. Unless he was mucking about because he's sick of chicken.

Barbara Stevens ● 2069d

Yes just googled, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons.

Another good reason not to eat meat!

Jane Carter ● 2069d

I'm saying nothing 😺

I googled it too.  According to the Express, it was for SFC chicken.I checked with Sainsbury's, Tesco's and Morrison's website.  Not a peep on Tesco's and yes the other two.The mention The Original SFC Take Home Boneless Bucket (best before 28/11/21) as well as The Original SFC Chicken Poppets (best before 31/10/21).  Both breaded and to be found in the frozen compartment.  The other products they are recalling are Danone Light Peach and passion fruit Free Greek Style yogurt (4 x 115 g) - best before 31.03.21, Activia Vanilla 0% fat no added sugar (4 x 115 g) - best before 2.04.21.  In addition to these, Morrison's is also recalling Activia Intensely creamy raspberry yogurt (4 x 111 g) - use by date 31/3/21 only.

Thank you Ivonne, good to know about the yogurt as well.

Should people ever be eating things called Take Home Boneless Buckets or Chicken Poppets? I mean, Why?

David Ainsworth ● 2068d

I agree with you David.  Why indeed!

Ivonne Holliday ● 2068d

ew!

Matt Palmer ● 2068d

What is a chicken poppet? 

Michael Ixer ● 2068d

I really do not know. From the picture on the packaging, it looks like small breaded chicken meatballs.  Not at all appetizing!

Ivonne Holliday ● 2068d

You don’t want to know, Michael .

Jane Carter ● 2068d

Never seen them before, thought they meant ordinary chicken.

Barbara Stevens ● 2068d

Yes, Jane. Sorry I asked but curiosity got the better of me! I suspect they're made from mechanically reclaimed meat; that is, scraps scraped off the bones then compressed into balls?

Michael Ixer ● 2068d

Neither had I Barbara.  Just saw the pictures in the Sainsbury's and Morrison's websites.They look really yucky to me!

Ivonne Holliday ● 2068d

Agree Ivonne.

Barbara Stevens ● 2068d

Just for you Michael. perhaps that explains me being sarky.

Barbara Stevens ● 2059d

Just interested in the strange ideas people have about veggie/vegan diets. I'd say a good veggie curry from Ma Goa or the Kashmir, or a traditional Neapolitan pizza rosso is more of a proper meal than reclaimed meat stuffed into balls, still each to their own ... and, as for shopping, I think a large bag of root veggies is as heavy as one of meat - although Mr Ocado or othed delivery service can help with that ... Must admit I used to get a bit fed up when I went to corporate round table dinners and all the carnivore with a slab of dead meat in a pool of gravy dotted with a few spuds and another veg looked at the interesting artichoke or similar with jealousy ...
