Nearly 30-thousand pounds of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets are being recalled after metal pieces were found inside.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that Tyson Foods issued a recall for its Fun Nuggets 29-ounce plastic bags contaminated by extraneous materials, specifically metal pieces.
“Tyson FULLY COOKED FUN NUGGETS BREADED SHAPED CHICKEN PATTIES” with a Best If Used By date of SEP 04, 2024, and lot codes 2483BRV0207, 2483BRV0208, 2483BRV0209 and 2483BRV0210.
One minor oral injury has been reported and the USDA is concerned that some customers may still have the dino nuggets in their freezers.
