Tyson Foods of Missouri is recalling about 75,230 pounds of frozen, fully cooked chicken nuggets products because they may be contaminated with small pieces of plastic. The problem was traced to a product scraper inside a blending machine. The firm received several consumer complaints about the problem, and some consumers have had minor oral injuries while eating the nuggets.
The products include 5-pound bags of “Tyson Fully Cooked White Meat Chicken Nuggets – 16142-928” with a “best if used by” date of Jan 26 2015 or Feb 16 2015. The manufacturer codes “0264SDL0315 through 19” and “0474SDL0311 through 14” are on the bags. They were produced January 26 or February 16, 2014 and shipped nationwide to one retail warehouse club chain.
Also recalled are 20-pound bulk packs of “Spare Time Fully Cooked Nugget-Shaped Chicken Breast Pattie Fritters w/Rib Meat – 16142-861” with identifying case codes of “0264SDL0315 through 19” and “0474SDL0311 through 14.” They were produced January 26 and February 16, 2014 and were shipped for institutional use in Indiana and Arkansas.
The product bags have the establishment number “P-13556” inside the USDA mark of inspection. If you purchased these items, do not eat them. Return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
