Plastic in chicken
US: Tyson Foods Inc. is recalling 3,120 pounds of frozen breaded chicken that may be contaminated with blue and clear soft plastic.
Frozen, uncooked and breaded chicken tenderloins were produced on May 17, said the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS).
A 12-lb. box containing 3-lb. plastic bags of “Uncooked, breaded, original chicken tenderloins,” with lot code 1378NLR02 were shipped to food service establishments nationwide. They are not available in retail stores.
The problem was discovered when Tyson Foods notified FSIS that their supplier was recalling breading ingredients due to possible foreign material contamination. There have been no confirmed reports of injury.
