 (Reuters) - Tyson Foods Inc is recalling some chicken nuggets it
manufactured because of possible contamination with rubber, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
said late on Tuesday.
About 36,420 pounds of Tyson's 'White Meat Panko' chicken nuggets
will be recalled after several consumers complained of extraneous
material in the purchased product, the FSIS said.
There have been no confirmed reports of bad reactions after
consuming the recalled panko chicken nuggets, the FSIS said.
The latest news comes on the heels of Tyson's recall in June last
year of 3,120 pounds of breaded chicken tenderloins, after a
supplier notified that an ingredient may contain pieces of blue and
clear soft plastic.
