WASHINGTON (KATV) — Tyson Foods is recalling over 190,000 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken fritter products that may be contaminated with extraneous material such as hard plastic, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

According to a news release, the FSIS received three consumer complaints from schools about foreign material in the breaded chicken fritter product.

Tyson says the 8.2-pound bags of “fully cooked, whole grain golden crispy chicken chunk fritters” were produced on February 28, 2019, and distributed to both institutions and schools in a 32.81-pound case. They are marked with the number P-1325 inside on the USDA mark of inspection.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions after consuming the product.

Anyone who purchased the product is urged to return them to the store or throw them away.

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