Tyson Foods Recalls Chicken Strips That May Contain Pieces of Metal

Tyson Foods is recalling thousands of pounds of frozen chicken strips after receiving a couple customer complaints regarding metal pieces in the products.

You may want to think twice about cooking up your next batch of chicken strips. Earlier this week, Tyson Foods issued a recall for more than 69,000 pounds of ready-to-eat, frozen chicken strips over concerns the chicken may be contaminated with chunks of metal. So far the company has received two consumer complaints regarding the matter.

The recalled chicken strips were produced back on November 30, 2018, and include the following products, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture:

• 25-oz. plastic bag packages of frozen “Tyson FULLY COOKED BUFFALO STYLE CHICKEN STRIPS CHICKEN BREAST STRIP FRITTERS WITH RIB MEAT AND BUFFALO STYLE SAUCE” with “BEST IF USED BY NOV 30 2019,” case codes 3348CNQ0317 and 3348CNQ0318, and individual bag timestamps from 17:00 through 18:59 hours (inclusive).
