Recalled Tyson Foods Chicken Patties Due to Potential ‘Foreign Matter’ Contamination

Tyson Foods issues a recall for the frozen chicken patties due to concerns for possible contamination with external materials according to the US Department of Agriculture.

The recall affected around 39,078 pounds of Weaver brand frozen, fully-cooked chicken patties that were produced on the 31st of January. The product was sold in 26 oz. reusable bags with a Jan. 31, 2020 ‘used by’ date.

Possible Foreign Matter Contamination

The chicken patties bags in the recall have the number P-13456 printed on the back of the bag, according to the agency. The FSIS statement notes that the patties may’ve been polluted with foreign material.

These potentially affected products were sold in Massachusetts, Missouri, Conneticut, New York, Ohio, Vermont, Texas, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Officials from the FSIS explain that they were informed of a possible contamination after complaints from consumers. The agency advises people who have bought these recalled patties to throw them out or return them to the store.

If you’re worried about a potential sickness from these chicken patties, it’s pivotal to consult a doctor.

Back in June, Tyson recalled more than 190,000 pounds of chicken fritters after reports from consumers about hard plastic presence.

Although limited, due to caution, the company is recalling the product. They haven’t received any reports of diseases or injuries linked with the product. If you have any questions or concerns about the recall, you can text or call the consumer relations hotline of Tyson Foods.
