4.9 million pounds of frozen, boneless chicken have been recalled
[October 27, 2025]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hormel Foods is recalling nearly 4.9 million
pounds of frozen boneless chicken products it sold to restaurants,
cafeterias and other outlets, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food
Safety and Inspection Service announced Saturday.
Customers reported finding metal in the chicken breast and thigh
products. Hormel concluded that the metal came from a conveyor belt used
in production, the food safety service said. There have been no reports
of illnesses or injuries.
The recalled Hormel Fire Braised chicken items were distributed to HRI
Commercial Food Service, a restaurant supply company, at locations
nationwide from Feb. 10 through Sept. 19. The products are only sold to
food service companies, not directly to consumers.

 The food safety service said that
some of the recalled chicken may be in freezers at hotels,
restaurants and cafeterias and urged that it be thrown away. Hormel
said it has notified all customers who received the products.
Consumers with questions about the recall can reach out to Hormel
Foods through the company website or by calling 1-800-523-4635.
