WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2016 Tyson Foods Inc., a Sedalia, Mo. establishment, is recalling approximately 132,520 pounds of fully cooked chicken nugget products that may be contaminated with hard plastic, the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The fully cooked Panko Chicken Nuggets items were produced on July 18, 2016. The following products are subject to recall: [ View Labels (PDF Only)] 5-lb. bag containing Tyson FULLY COOKED PANKO CHICKEN NUGGETS with a Best If Used By date of July 18, 2017 and case code 2006SDL03 and 2006SDL33. 20-lb. bulk packages containing SPARE TIME Fully Cooked, Panko Chicken Nuggets, Nugget Shaped Chicken Breast Pattie Fritters With Rib Meat with a production date of July 18, 2016 and case code 2006SDL03.

The firm said the products pass through a metal detector, but the plastic is not detectable to this technology.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
