Nearly 12 million pounds of Tyson frozen chicken strips recalled because they may contain metal
Tyson Foods Inc. has recalled approximately 11.8 million pounds of frozen chicken strips because the products may be contaminated with metal, the United States Department of Agriculture announced Saturday.
The problem was discovered after the agency received two consumer complaints of"extraneous material" in the chicken strip products, according to the release. The USDA names"pieces of metal" as the possible contaminant. USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service classified the announcement as a"Class I" recall. Such recalls are considered a high health risk – a"situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.""Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them," the recall notice states."These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
