The products being recalled carry the P-1325 factory number inside the USDA inspection mark. The recalled items were shipped to institutional foodservice establishments nationwide and were not packaged for retail sale.
On June 5, 2019, FSY was informed of the problem when Tyson Foods, Inc. informed it of three consumer complaints from foreign material schools in the breaded chicken donut product. Tyson Foods, Inc. distributed the product to institutions, including schools. Although the product was distributed to schools, it resulted from a commercial sale and was not part of the food provided by the USDA for the national school meal program.
No cases of adverse effect related to the consumption of these products has been confirmed. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may end up in freezers. Food establishments that have purchased these products are urged not to serve them. These products must be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely performs recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling companies are notifying their recall customers and that steps are being taken to ensure that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, retail distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
