Tyson Foods Inc. has recalled approximately 36,420 pounds of chicken nuggets because the products may be contaminated with rubber, the United States Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday. The affected products are panko chicken nuggets that were produced on Nov. 26, 2018, the announcement says. The products were sold in 5-pound packages labeled "Tyson white meat panko chicken nuggets" and had a "best if used by" date of Nov. 26, 2019. Consumers have complained of "extraneous material" in the impacted products, according to a release. Rubber is named in the release as the possible foreign contaminant. USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service classified the announcement as a "Class I" recall. Such recalls are considered a high health risk – a "situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death." The agency says it is "concerned" that recalled products may have been frozen and placed in consumers' freezers. The agency recommends consumers throw away impacted products or return them to the store where they were purchased. "There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider," the release says. Impacted products were shipped to retailers nationwide, the release says. Affected products will have "P-13556" printed in black ink on the back of the package, according to a visual guide published by the USDA. They will also have a case code of "3308SDL03" printed in that same area, followed by a time stamp between 23:00 and 01:59 (inclusive). The recall comes one day after Perdue Foods recalled more than 16,000 pounds of refrigerated chicken nuggets because of an undeclared allergen and an incorrect UPC code. Contributing: Zlati Meyer
