Massive chicken recall: What you need to know
The issue was first discovered March 21 after OK Foods received five consumer complaints about metal objects found in ready-to-eat chicken products. An investigation found the objects in all of the complaints came from metal conveyor belting.
Here’s what we know about the affected products:
- The ready-to-eat breaded chicken items (933,272 pounds) were produced on various dates from December 19, 2016 through March 7, 2017.
- Recalled products include chicken nuggets, chicken patties and chicken fries.
- The chicken items bear establishment number “P-7092” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
- Items were shipped to retail locations and institutions nationwide, including Walmart and Save-A-Lot.
Although there have been no confirmed reports of “adverse reactions,” the USDA says consumers should throw away the recalled chicken or return it to the store where they purchased it.
