    Makes you wonder what else there putting in our food that we don’t know

    Reason why we live on a farm and grow and eat our own meat veggies and fruit

    I actually got a call from Costco today because I bought a bag a couple months ago. I don’t have the same sell by date as the recall but I loved how they contacted me.

      I got a call today as well. I was wondering if they would call since I know they track our purchases.

    We had these in our freezer and just finished them on Sunday 🤦‍♀️

    Saw this recall yesterday and checked on the bag we got from Costco. Same lot no and bat by date.🤦🏻‍♀️ then got a call from Costco by mid day. We haven’t opened it. So off to return for full refund!

    Wow, I bought the tenderloins not nuggets several months ago. I remember finding little pieces of blue stuff and picking it out wondering what I had done. I bought them because we were travelling from Texas to Alaska in our travel trailer and I needed easy to prepare food that wasn’t complete junk. We were in the middle of nowhere Canada so we just ate them. I feel horrible that I fed my family rubber. If you bought the tenderloins too please look them over carefully. I am going to contact Tyson. 😝

    Tyson has constant recalls. Not only do their facilities have to be horrible but the poor animals are slaughtered for no reason. 😞

      2 very good points. Nonsensical animal slaughtering and can u imagine how dirty their facilities must be ?? They cant have eyes on them all the times so its doubtful they follow procedures in the right way. If they did there wouldnt be so many issues. Sad that they wont care enough to improve methods until they start to feel it in their pockets.
