Tyson Foods, one of the largest producers of chicken, has announced a voluntary recall of approximately 30,000 pounds of its popular dino-shaped chicken nuggets. The recall was initiated after several consumers reported finding small metal pieces in the patties, raising concerns about potential safety hazards. The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a notification regarding the recall on Saturday.

The recall specifically applies to 29-ounce plastic bag packages containing frozen, fully cooked "fun nuggets breaded shaped chicken patties." The FSIS urged consumers to check their freezers for any remaining bags of the recalled chicken nuggets and advised them to discard or return the products immediately.

To facilitate the recall process, Tyson Foods has advised purchasers and consumers of the recalled nuggets to carefully cut out the UPC and date code from the packaging. They should then contact Tyson Foods directly through either a phone call or text message to the provided hotline at 1-855-382-3101.

Although the recall was initiated promptly, Tyson Foods has yet to respond to requests for comment from CNN. It is essential for consumers to remain vigilant and take appropriate action if they have purchased the affected products. Ensuring food safety is of utmost importance, and the company's swift action is aimed at preventing any potential harm or injury to consumers.

Metal contamination in food products can pose significant health risks, including choking hazards and potential damage to teeth or gums. The recall serves as a precautionary measure to mitigate any potential harm to consumers. Tyson Foods' dino-shaped chicken nuggets are a popular choice among children and adults alike, making it crucial for consumers to check their freezers and dispose of any affected products.

Consumers are urged to keep a close eye on updates from Tyson Foods and the FSIS regarding the recall to stay informed about any developments. It is also essential to follow the provided instructions for contacting Tyson Foods and arranging for the return or disposal of the recalled chicken nuggets.

Food safety remains a priority for both producers and consumers, and in situations like this, cooperation and prompt action are essential.
