It's time again to open up your freezer and check for the latest recalled product. This time, Tyson frozen chicken strips are the subject of a major, nationwide recall.
The chicken maker announced that over 69,000 pounds of their frozen chicken strips could contain pieces of metal, prompting a voluntary recall of bags shipped to major stores from coast to coast.
The affected chicken strips were made on November 30, 2018, have a use-by date of November 30, 2019, and could easily still be lurking in your freezer, so be sure to check the complete list of recalled products below.
Already, two customers have complained to the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service after finding foreign objects in their chicken strips, but there have been no adverse reactions reported after eating the affected chicken.
Here's the complete list of recalled chicken strip products.
