Tyson Foods Recalls 30,000 Pounds of Dinosaur-Shaped Chicken Nuggets Due to Metal Contamination
In a recent announcement, Tyson Foods has issued a recall for approximately 30,000 pounds of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets due to potential contamination with metal pieces. The recall specifically applies to Tyson Foods’ 29-ounce plastic bag packages of frozen fun nuggets breaded-shaped chicken patties, with a “best by” date of Sept. 4, 2024.
The recalled product has been distributed to several states, including Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. This has raised concerns that some customers may still have the affected chicken nuggets in their freezers, prompting the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to issue warnings.
The USDA has reported one minor oral injury connected to the consumption of these chicken nuggets. As a precautionary measure, Tyson Foods is urging consumers who purchased the recalled product to either discard it or return it to the place of purchase. The company also provided a hotline number, 1-855-382-3101, for consumers to contact them for further assistance.
The metal pieces found in the nuggets are described by Tyson Foods as small and pliable. While the recall was issued out of caution, it highlights the importance of food safety and the diligence required in the manufacturing and distribution processes to avoid such incidents.
To help consumers identify the affected product, Tyson Foods has shared that the chicken nuggets in question were produced on Sept. 5 and can be recognized by the lot numbers 2483BRV0207, 2483BRV0208, 2483BRV0209, and 2483BRV0210. This information will assist customers in identifying whether they have purchased the recalled chicken nuggets.
As more information emerges, it is essential for consumers to remain vigilant and take appropriate action if they have purchased the affected chicken nuggets. The “best by” date previously reported as Sept. 2, 2024, has been corrected to Sept. 4, 2024.
Tyson Foods understands the potential risk involved and is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of their customers. By actively addressing the issue and initiating the recall, the company demonstrates its dedication to providing safe and quality food products.
Consumers are advised to prioritize their health and safety by paying attention to such recalls and taking necessary precautions.
