Nearly 1 million pounds of chicken sold at grocery stores across the country, like Wal-Mart, are being recalled after consumers complained of metal fragments in their poultry.
The United States Department of Agriculture issued the advisory after OK Foods of Oklahoma City found that 933,272 pounds of its ready-to-eat breaded chicken products could be tainted with metal from factory conveyor belts.
The recall was issued within 48 hours of the first consumer complaint March 21 and impacts the company’s poultry products, such as chicken fingers, nuggets, patties, and other items, produced between Dec. 16, 2016, and March 7, 2017.
All affected chicken items have the following number listed inside the USDA mark of inspection on the outside packaging: P-7092. To determine if the poultry you’ve purchased is part of this recall, click here to view the USDA’s list of recalled chicken products.
While there are currently no reports of injuries due to the metal contamination, OK Foods is advising customers to throw away the impure product or return the item to the store where it was purchased.
