Nov 5 (Reuters) – U.S. food company Tyson Foods (TSN.N) has announced a voluntary recall of approximately 30,000 pounds of frozen, fully cooked dinosaur-shaped chicken “Fun Nuggets” or Dino Chicken Nuggets. A limited number of consumers have reported finding small, pliable metal pieces in the product. Out of an abundance of caution, the company has decided to recall this product.
The recall specifically includes Tyson brand fully cooked “Fun Nuggets” sold in 29-ounce packages to retailers. No other Tyson brand products are affected. The product in question was produced at one location on Sept. 5, 2023, according to the company.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has also issued a statement, confirming that Tyson Foods is recalling around 30,000 pounds of fully cooked breaded chicken. The FSIS mentioned that there has been one reported minor oral injury associated with consuming this product, but no additional reports of injury or illness have been received.
