A huge amount of frozen chicken is being taken off the market. Hormel Foods is recalling almost 4. 9 million pounds of boneless chicken.

But the chicken might still be in freezers at places like hotels and schools. If you work at one of these places, check your freezer. If you find any of this chicken, throw it away. Hormel has told all the places they sold the chicken to. If you have questions, you can contact Hormel Foods through their website or by calling 1-800-523-4635.
