Tyson Foods is recalling more than 36,000 pounds of chicken nuggets because they may be contaminated with small pieces of rubber.

The U.S. Agriculture Department says there were consumer complaints about extraneous material in 5-pound packages of Tyson White Meat Panko Chicken Nuggets. There are no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.

"A small number of consumers contacted the company to say they had found small pieces of soft, blue plastic in the nuggets, prompting the company to issue the recall," Tyson said in a statement.

It added that the pieces were found "in a very small number of packages" and that no injuries had been reported.

Tyson said the nuggets were shipped to "club store distribution centers in Arizona, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Utah."

The packages have a best if used by date of Nov. 26, 2019 and the case code 3308SDL03. The establishment core P-13556 is inside the USDA inspection mark.

The nuggets should be thrown out or returned to the place of purchase.

Shaking my head.

Chick-fil-A. Real chicken. No rubber involved.

You’re welcome.

Tyson Foods were major supporters of the Clintons. These nuggets were probably meant for Haiti.

Vegetarianism doesn’t look so bad these days? Hell, what am I saying? Most of the contaminated food and recalls are fruits and vegetables!

Hillary used to sit on Tyson’s board. They are an evil company with the worst animal standards on record. I despise this company!

This never would have happened at Tyler Chicken, with George as a hen supervisor.

Unless Kramerica was conducting experiments nearby.
