Tyson recalls chicken strips after customers find metal pieces....

[PopsnTuff]

Tyson Foods is recalling about 69,000 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strips that may be contaminated with metal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said late on Thursday.
The department's Food Safety and Inspection Service said it had received two consumer complaints of extraneous material in Tyson's chicken strip products and that there were no reports of illnesses.

Tyson, the country's top meat processor, is recalling its fully cooked buffalo-style chicken strips fritters, crispy chicken strips and chicken breast strip fritters with a before-use date of Nov. 30, 2019.

(I dont buy these products but others who do will be aware of this)

This is frightening. Metal pieces in chicken?

Not too surprising....given the Mass Production of poultry products. Here, in mid Mo., there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of chicken and turkey farms, and a huge Tyson processing plant near the town of Dresden, MO., and they probably process 100's of thousands of birds every day. When driving in this area, there is a steady flow of trucks carrying birds to the Tyson plant. Given the "assembly line" at this plant, I'm surprised that there aren't more cases of foreign objects finding their way into the finished product.

I don't buy those products either, but I'm not too surprised to know that most wood or metal is found in meats that have been cut, processed and prepared in smaller pieces and usually found in the freezer section.
