Thanks for posting! I have 2 bags in the freezer that match the upc number. Ugh!
Geez
Oh bummer! You’re welcome, Suzanne! Glad to help!
Suzanne check the expiration date too. Just because the UPC matches doesnt mean its included. The other details need to match too. Don’t want you to toss items that are fine.
Thanks for asking, but I checked all the numbers/dates and they unfortunately match. We live in SC but shop in GA. Normally I don’t buy these, but couldn’t get to Costco and these were on sale. Such a bummer!
How many animals died for nothing… Tyson constantly has recalls
My thoughts too. Get it together tyson
Remember to check all the numbers. Establishment and used by date too.
Company had so many recalls. Why do ppl still buy from them blows my mind.
Hmm…I’ll have to research this because I was unaware of any recalls with Tyson…especially not with the Grilled and Ready chicken strips which I particularly like. Ironically, I bought Tyson chicken strips in the red bag over the weekend so I’ll have to check to see if mine are impacted by the recall.
Tyson frequently has recalls on its chicken products. Sept 2016, June 2017, June 2018, Jan 2019. I didn’t check earlier than Sept 2016. https://usdasearch.usda.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=fsis&query=tyson+recall
I had to call Campbell’s yesterday bc I found tons of plastic in my soup!
Oh bummer! Sorry to hear about that, Amy!
I’m always thankful that we get recalls and warnings like this, even if it “could” have an effect is mislabeled, etc. I’d rather they erred on the side of caution. That doesn’t happen in some places in the world. Companies that do recalls are doing the responsible thing, even if it is a pain for those who have purchased the product.
So gross! This is why I stopped eating chicken and most processed foods
This crap is exactly why our household doesn’t purchase processed meat. Especially from Tyson.
I also don’t buy Tyson brand, but my biggest gripe with any recall is when the consumers are told to throw the item away…..NO! Take it back to the store and get your money back. Let these manufacturers take the hit for their mistake and carelessness.
Ugh. The 1 time I actually buy Tyson chicken 🤦🏼♀️😒
Are they doing something for costumers when they call in? Or do you actually take it back to the store? I’ve never returned food so it seems odd to me lol 🤷♀️
I just want my money back. I don’t want coupons and having to wait forever on the phone. They need to have online forms so it’s more convenient for me
