Tyson Foods is Voluntary recallThe company sold about 30,000 pounds of Dino-shaped chicken nuggets after some consumers reported finding small pieces of metal in their patties.
The recall, announced Saturday, is for 29-ounce plastic bags containing “fully cooked, breaded fun chicken nuggets.” according to USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service.
These bags carry a “best if used” date of September 4, 2024, and were sold in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.
There has been a “minor mouth injury” associated with consumption of the gold nuggets, according to the USDA, but no other harm has been reported so far.
But officials at the agency said they were concerned that consumers may still have bags of recalled “fun pieces” in their refrigerators, and advised anyone who did so should dispose of or return the product immediately.
Tyson advised buyers and consumers of the recalled items to cut the UPC and date code from the packaging and call or text 1-855-382-3101.
Tyson did not immediately respond to CNN’s requests for comment.
The Arkansas-based company is the world’s second-largest meat processor.
