Tyson Foods Voluntarily Recalls Frozen, Fully Cooked Chicken
July 03 2021 - 7:51PM
Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN), is voluntarily recalling
approximately 8.5 million pounds of frozen, fully cooked chicken.
Tyson has been working closely with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture on this recall, and while there is no conclusive
evidence that the products were contaminated at the time of
shipment, the voluntary recall is being initiated out of an
abundance of caution.
The affected products were produced at one plant located in
Dexter, Missouri, between December 26 of 2020 and April 13 of 2021
and distributed to foodservice and retail customers nationwide and
Puerto Rico. They are being recalled as a precaution due to
possible exposure to Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful
bacteria.
“We’re committed to providing safe, healthy food that people
rely on every day,” said Scott Brooks, senior vice president, food
safety and quality assurance, Tyson Foods. “We are taking this
precautionary step out of an abundance of caution and in keeping
with our commitment to safety.”
Products Included in this RecallThe recall
includes Tyson® branded frozen, fully cooked products as well as
private label products made for customers. These products were sold
to foodservice and retail customers and distributed nationwide.
Each package of the affected retail products has the establishment
code P-7089.
A list of product labels for the impacted retail products are
available for download and comprehensive list of all retail and
