“A small number of consumers contacted the company to say they had found small pieces of soft, blue plastic in the nuggets, prompting the company to issue the recall,” Tyson said in a news release.
The voluntary recall for Tyson’s 5-pound bags of Fully Cooked Panko Chicken Nuggets that have been sold at club store nationwide since November 26, 2018 with the UPC: 0 23700 03558 5.
The company added that while only a few pieces have been found in a “very small number of packages,” no injuries have been reported and it’s issuing the national recall “out of an abundance of caution.”
