Approximately 933,272 pounds of breaded chicken products that may contain metal, has been recalled by An Oklahoma company, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced.
Production dates of the chicken items range from Dec. 19, 2016 through to March 7, 2017 and were shipped to retail locations and institutions nationwide.
The products affected bear establishment number “P-7092” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The USDA reported that the problem was discovered on March 21, 2017 after OK Foods Inc. received five consumer complaints stating that metal objects were found in the ready-to-eat chicken products.
After an internal investigation, the company identified the affected product and determined that the objects in all the complaints came from metal conveyor belting.
The Company is urging consumers who have purchased these products to not consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
No confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products have been made. The company recommends that anyone concerned about an injury or illness related to this, should contact a healthcare provider immediately.
