The Turkey Enchilada items were produced on March 28, 2016. The Lemon Pepper Chicken items were produced on March 25, 2016. The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels(PDF only)]

• 11-oz sealed tray packages with a label that says “Perfect Fit Meals Chipotle Chicken Sausage” with a use-by date of 5/2/2016, but may contain “Perfect Fit Meals Turkey Enchilada.”

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-827” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the sealed tray packages. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
