Nearly 70,000 Pounds Of Tyson Chicken Recalled

MICHIGAN — Tyson Foods is recalling chicken strips that may contain metal, federal food safety officials announced. The chicken has been sold in Michigan and used at institutional location around the state, the announcement said.

The recall affects some 69,093 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strip products produced on November 30, 2018, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in a news release Thursday.

Products under the recall include Tyson’s fully cooked buffalo-style chicken strips in 25-ounce bags, Tyson fully cooked crispy chicken strips in 25-ounce bags and Spare Time fully cooked buffalo-style chicken strips in a 20-pound case.

Each affected products have a use-by date of November 30, 2019.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-7221” on the back of the product package. For product clarification, the last two digits of the product case codes correspond to the hour produced and will match the first two numbers of the time stamp (as depicted on the label).

FSIS discovered the problem because of two consumer complaints about materials in chicken strip products, they said. Consumers are urged to throw away or return products that might be impacted and not to consume them.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury from consumption of these products.
