Breaded chicken recalled because bits of metal may be in it
OK Foods, Inc., based in Oklahoma City, Okla., is recalling approximately 933,272 pounds of breaded chicken products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Thursday.
The ready-to-eat products, which may be contaminated with metal, were produced between December 19, 2016 and March 7, 2017.
The problem was discovered earlier this week after OK Foods, Inc., received five complaints about metal objects in the products. An internal investigation determined that metal fragments came from its conveyor belting.
There have been no confirmed injuries or illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.
All products subject to recall bear establishment number "P-7092" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Items were shipped to retail locations and institutions nationwide.
