Tyson recalls 130,000 pounds of chicken nuggets<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Tyson recalls 130,000 pounds of chicken nuggets<\/strong> : (CNN)Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling more than 130,000 pounds of cooked chicken nuggets because they may contain hard plastic, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection Service said Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recall was issued after a customer reported finding “foreign material” in a chicken nugget product.<\/span><\/p>\n

“According to Tyson Foods, the plastic material ranged in size from 21mm in length and 6.5mm in diameter and may have come from a round, hard plastic rod used to connect a plastic transfer belt. The firm said the products pass through a metal detector, but the plastic is not detectable to this technology,” the USDA recall announcement said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In all, 132,520 pounds of chicken are subject to this recall, which applies to 5-pound bags of fully cooked panko chicken nuggets with a “use by” date of July 18, 2017. They also have case code 2006SDL03 and 2006SDL33 on the package.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty-pound bulk packages of Spare Time nugget-shaped chicken breast pattie fritters with rib meat are also being recalled. These bulk packages, which were shipped to Pennsylvania for “institutional use,” are marked with a production date of July 18, 2016, and case code 2006SDL03.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recalled products should not be consumed, the USDA advised. Instead, they should be thrown away or returned.<\/span>
\nThis is a class l recall, which means there is “reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse heatlh consequences or death.” However, no adverse events have been reported so far.<\/span><\/p>\n
