Tyson recalled almost 30,000 pounds of its Fun Nuggets on Saturday, saying they could contain metal.
AdvertisementAdvertisementTyson Foods has recalled almost 30,000 pounds of its frozen dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets amid fears that they could contain metal pieces, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Saturday.
The FSIS said that Tyson had recalled around 29,819 pounds of the dinosaur-shaped nuggets, which is around 16,500 packets.
In September, the US Department of Labor announced they were investigating Tyson Foods and Perdue Farms, another major poultry producer, over the reports.
The Tyson family has become one of the country's richest families, but Tyson Foods announced earlier this year that it was shutting four of its chicken plants as it sought to cut costs amid falling demand.
