Tyson recalls nearly 30,000 pounds of dino chicken nuggets

The United States Department of Agriculture announced on Saturday that approximately 30,000 pounds of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets are being recalled due to potential contamination with metal fragments.

The recall pertains to Tyson Foods’ 29-ounce plastic bag packages containing frozen “fully cooked fun nuggets breaded shaped chicken patties” with a “best by” date of September 4, 2024.

These products were distributed to various locations in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The USDA has received reports of one minor oral injury linked to the consumption of these chicken nuggets, CBS News reported.

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service expressed concerns that some consumers might still have these dino nuggets stored in their freezers.
