Tyson chicken nuggets recalled, may contain rubber
Tyson Foods is recalling more than 36,000 pounds of chicken nuggets because they may be contaminated with rubber.
The U.S. Agriculture Department says there were consumer complaints about extraneous material in 5-pound packages of Tyson White Meat Panko Chicken Nuggets.
Tyson described the material as "small pieces of soft, blue plastic in the nuggets."
The recalled products are the bags of Tyson White Meat Panko Chicken Nuggets with a "BEST IF USED BY" date of "NOV 26 2019."
They have a case code "3308SDL03" and time stamps 23:00 through 01:59.
The products also have an establishment number "P-13556" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The packages were shipped to club store distribution centers in Arizona, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Utah, and sent to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was reported on Tuesday, and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.
Tyson says consumers who have purchased any of the affected items should discard the product, cut the UPC and date code from the back of the packaging and mail it to the following address for a full refund:
Tyson Foods Consumer Relations
P.O. Box 219
Kings Mountain, NC 28086
