SlateStone Wealth Chief Market Strategist Kenny Polcari weighs in on the controversial topic of “Making Money.”
Food giant Tyson announced Saturday the voluntary recall of about 30,000 pounds of frozen, fully cooked chicken nuggets after some consumers reported finding small pieces of metal in the product.
The recall involves dinosaur-shaped “Fun Nuggets,” which Tyson manufactured on Sept. 5 and sold in 29-ounce plastic bags labeled “Fully Cooked Fun Nuggets, Breaded Chicken Patties.” No other Tyson brand products are affected by this recall.
“A limited number of consumers have reported finding small, pliable pieces of metal in the product, and out of an abundance of caution, the company is recalling this product,” Tyson said in the recall announcement.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the product was shipped to distributors in several states, including Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin, for further distribution to retailers distribute. The agency will publish a retail distribution list of stores that have received the product as soon as it becomes available.

“FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ freezers,” the agency added in the recall announcement. “Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the point of purchase.”
Tyson said consumers who purchased the affected item should “cut off the UPC and date code from the packaging, discard the product and call or text 1-855-382-3101.”
