Tyson Foods recalls US nuggets after metal pieces found
US meat processor Tyson Foods says it’s recalling around 30,000Ib of chicken nuggets after metal pieces were found in the product.
The voluntary recall is “out of an abundance of caution.”
The nuggets were produced at one facility and shipped to distributors in nine US states including Alabama, California and Illinois.
The US Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said it received one report of a minor oral injury.
“A limited number of consumers have reported they found small, pliable metal pieces in the product, and out of an abundance of caution, the company is recalling this product,” Tyson said in a statement.
The company said customers who had purchased the product should discard it and contact the firm.
