It is advised to check your freezers for the products mentioned, do not eat them, throw them out or return them to the store they were purchased.

This is the second recall for Tyson this year, as in January the company had also recalled 5 pound plastic packages of chicken nuggets because they may have been contaminated with pieces of rubber.
