WASHINGTON (REUTERS) – Tyson Foods Inc. has significantly expanded the recall of frozen ready-to-eat chicken strips to nearly 5.4 million kilograms due to contamination issues, the US Department of Agriculture announced on Saturday May 4th.
The ministry's Food Safety and Inspection Service said it was aware of six consumer complaints that would have found pieces of metal in the product.
Saturday's recall added to 31,297 kilograms the company recalled in March after food safety inspectors had received two complaints about foreign materials found by consumers.
Tyson stated in a separate statement that the additional recalled chicken strips were produced at the same location as the first recalled batch and had previous consumption dates between October 1, 2019 and March 7, 2020.
The majority of these products have already been consumed without any incident being reported, Tyson said.
In January, Tyson recalled a batch of chicken nuggets due to possible rubber contamination.
