Tyson Foods is recalling about 127,000 pounds of uncooked breaded chicken tenderloins and uncooked chicken tenderloin fritter products because they contain undeclared soy, one of the major food allergens.

The cartons have package codes of “0603TYLxxxx”, “0663TYLxxxx”, “0733TYLxxxx”, “0773TYLxxxx”, “0813TYLxxxx”, or “0863TYLxxxx” under the product code. The xxxx represents a time stamp.

What happens to all that meat? Is it just destroyed ? All those poor chickens lose their lives for nothing! What a waste.
I really am not sure, but I think that unopened packages are just relabeled. The chicken isn’t contaminated, it was just mislabeled.
Who manufactured the marinade? Did it reach any other company?
We don’t know if the supplier sold that unlabeled product only to Tyson or if they had other customers.
