WASHINGTON – Tyson Foods is recalling over 190,000 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken fritter products that may be contaminated with hard plastic.

The frozen ready-to-eat chicken fritter items were produced on February 28, 2019.

• 81-lb. cases containing four 8.2-lb. bags of “FULLY COOKED, WHOLE GRAIN GOLDEN CRISPY CHICKEN CHUNK FRITTERS-CN” and case code 0599NHL02. The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-1325” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The recalled items were shipped to institutional foodservice locations nationwide and were not packaged for retail sale.

 

Federal authorities were notified of the problem on June 5 after three consumer complaints from schools of foreign material in the breaded chicken fritter product.

Tyson Foods, Inc. distributed the product to institutions, including schools. While the product was distributed to schools, it resulted from a commercial sale and was not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program.

It is possible that some product may be in food service freezers.

Customers should throw away the products or return them to the place of purchase.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Tyson Foods Consumer Relations at (888) 747-7611.
