Tyson Foods, Inc., a company located in Berryville, Arkansas, is recalling approximately 29,819 pounds of fully cooked, breaded, and shaped chicken patty products. The products may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically metal pieces. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on November 4, 2023.

The frozen chicken patties were produced on September 5, 2023. The product under recall is 29-oz. plastic bag packages containing "Tyson FULLY COOKED FUN NUGGETS BREADED SHAPED CHICKEN PATTIES" with a Best If Used By date of SEP 04, 2024, and lot codes 2483BRV0207, 2483BRV0208, 2483BRV0209 and 2483BRV0210. The establishment number "P-7211" is located on the back of the package. The product was distributed to retail stores in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Tyson Foods discovered the problem after receiving consumer complaints reporting small metal pieces in the chicken patty product. The FSIS is concerned that some products may still be in consumers' freezers. FSIS is urging consumers who have purchased these products not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Tyson Consumer Relations at (855)-382-3101.

The FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to ensure that the recalling firms notify their customers of the recall. They are also verifying that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

There has been one reported minor oral injury associated with the consumption of this product. FSIS has received no additional reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
