Tyson Chicken Nuggets Recalled: Did You Order a Side of Metal?

Oh, nugget lovers, we have some unfortunate news for you. Tyson Foods Inc. has issued a recall for nearly 30,000 pounds of their beloved dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. Before you start shedding chicken-shaped tears, let us tell you why.

It seems that some not-so-tasty bits of metal were found in some of the nuggets. Yes, you read that right. Now, before you start imagining yourself as a modern-day James Bond trying to bite into a secret spy gadget, hold on. Because the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has warned that there has been one reported minor oral injury linked to these metallic morsels.

The nuggets in question were produced on September 5th. And while there haven’t been any additional reports of superhero teeth or mysterious injuries, the FSIS advises anyone feeling worried should contact a healthcare provider. Better safe than sorry.

The recall specifically targets the 29-ounce bags of the product called “Fully Cooked Fun Nuggets Breaded Shaped Chicken Patties.” Well, at least they have a fun name, right? Approximately 29,819 pounds of these chicken delights have been affected by the recall. So, if you live in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, or Wisconsin, you might want to pay attention. These nuggets made their way to your local distributors.

To make things easier for those brave enough to tackle chicken nuggets once again, the FSIS has provided some important details. The recalled nuggets come in plastic bags, which have the label “Tyson FULLY COOKED FUN NUGGETS BREADED SHAPED CHICKEN PATTIES” printed on them. And when it comes to dates and codes, remember to look for the Best If Used By date of SEP 04, 2024, and lot codes 2483BRV0207, 2483BRV0208, 2483BRV0209, and 2483BRV0210. Oh, and don’t forget to check if the package bears the number “P-7211” on the back. It’s like a secret chicken club code, except with bits of metal instead of secret passwords.

Now, we can’t deny that biting into a nugget and discovering a secret hidden pocket of metal is definitely unexpected. But here’s the twist: it was Tyson Foods themselves who notified the FSIS about the whole metal situation. Kudos to them for being proactive! But of course, it’s a little late for the nuggets that were already eaten.

So, if you have some of these nuggets hanging out in your freezer, our professional advice would be to give them the boot. Toss them out, wave goodbye, and find some nuggets elsewhere. Don’t worry, there are plenty of other breading-covered chicken options out there waiting to be discovered.

Oh, and if you bought these nuggets recently and still have the receipt, you can also return them to the place of purchase. Just make sure to resist the urge to make a dramatic scene out of it. No reenactments of “The Return of the Nugget” required. Keep it civil, folks.

If you find yourself still craving nuggets or have any questions regarding the recall, you can reach out to Tyson Consumer Relations at (855)-382-3101. They’ll be happy to assist you in your pursuit of nugget enlightenment.

Stay safe out there, fellow nugget connoisseurs! And remember, sometimes it’s better to bite into a genuine piece of chicken rather than discovering an unexpected side of metal.
