More Than 69,000 Pounds Of Tyson Chicken Strips Recalled

Check your freezer: There’s a recall involving more than 69,000 pounds of chicken strips produced by Tyson Foods.

The reason? Some of the food may be contaminated with pieces of metal.

The U-S Department of Agriculture says the products were produced on November 30th and sold in 25 pound platic bags or 20 pound cases.

Here’s the press release from Tyson Foods, detailing specific product numbers:

Springdale, Arkansas – March 21, 2019 – Tyson Foods, Inc., is voluntarily recalling approximately 69,093 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strip products.

This includes 65,313 pounds of Tyson® Fully Cooked Buffalo Style Chicken Strips and Fully Cooked Crispy Chicken Strips sold to retailers in 25-ounce bags, and 3,780 pounds of Spare Time® branded Fully Cooked Buffalo Style Chicken Strips sold to retailers and correctional institutions in 20-pound boxes.

Two consumers reported they found fragments of metal in the products. Even though these reports involved only two packages, out of an abundance of caution, the company is recalling these products. Tyson Foods has received no reports of injuries or illnesses associated with the affected product.

The product was produced at one plant location on November 30, 2018. Each package bears the establishment code P7221 and a “use by” date of November 30, 2019. The following products are impacted:
