WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Kraft Foods contractor Carolina Culinary Foods has expanded its recall of cooked Oscar Mayer/Louis Rich chicken breast cutlets and strips based on additional sampling initiated by Kraft Foods and conducted at a non-government laboratory.

The expanded recall totals approximately 2.8 million pounds of meat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. No illnesses have yet been reported. Packages with the establishment number "P-19676" inside the USDA mark of inspection with a "Use by" date earlier than "28 MAY 2007" are subject to the recall, USDA said.
