The last few months have strung along with quite a few consumer recalls, including a massive alert from Tyson Foods, which recalled 70,000 pounds of chicken strips after it was discovered they may contain pieces of metal.
According to a news release published on Tyson Foods' website, a total of 69,093 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strip products produced on November 30, 2018 have voluntarily been recalled after consumers complained of "extraneous materials" found in the food.
Products included in the recall include Tyson fully cooked buffalo-style chicken strips in 25-ounce bags (case codes 3348CNQ0317 and 3348CNQ0318), Tyson fully cooked crispy chicken strips in 25-ounce bags (case codes 3348CNQ0419, 3348CNQ0420, 3348CNQ0421, and 3348CNQ0422), and Spare Time fully cooked buffalo-style chicken strips in a 20-pound case (case code 3348CNQ03).
All affected products have a use-by date of November 30, 2019 and bear establishment number "P-7221" on the back of the product package. The recalled products were shipped to retail locations nationwide as well as for institutional use in locations in Michigan and Washington.
The recall from Tyson comes just two months after the company voluntarily recalled an estimated 36,420 pounds of frozen chicken nuggets "out of an abundance of caution" after a number of consumers claimed "they had found small pieces of soft, blue plastic in the nuggets."
