Tyson Recalls Over 52,000 Pounds of Cooked Chicken Wings

Tyson Foods Inc. is recalling about 52,486 pounds of chicken wing products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Tuesday.

Consumers who contacted Tyson Foods Inc. complained that "Any'tizers Fully Cooked Hot Wings, Chicken Wing Sections Coated with Flavorful Hot, Tangy Sauce" had an "off-odor" scent.

The USDA said the product may be adulterated because of having the scent. 

The problem was discovered when Tyson Foods Inc. received consumer complaints of odor as well as mild illness associated with consumption. The USDA has categorized the chicken recall as a class II recall, which indicates that there's low health risk to consumers.

"We're still investigating into what caused the odor," Derek Burleson, public relations manager for Tyson Foods Inc. said.

The fully cooked buffalo style chicken wing section item sold in 28-ounce bags was produced on Oct. 24, 2015 and Oct. 25, 2015. The items have the use by/sell by dates of Oct. 24, 2016 and Oct. 25, 2016. 

Consumers who have purchased these products should not eat them. The products, sold nationwide, should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
