The recall pertains to 29-ounce plastic bag packages containing frozen “fully cooked fun nuggets breaded shaped chicken patties” featuring a “best if used by date” of September 4th 2024.
The statement reads:
“The problem was discovered after the firm notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting small metal pieces in the chicken patty product…There has been one reported minor oral injury associated with consumption of this product.
