Over 900,000 Pounds of Chicken Recalled Nationwide

SAN ANGELO, TX  -  The Food Safety Inspection Service has recalled over 900,000 pounds of breaded chicken after five consumers complained they found metal objects in the ready-to-eat chicken products. It was later discovered that a faulty conveyor belt had caused the contamination.

The brands that could be affected are Spring River Farms, Sav A Lot, Great Value, Double D Foods, TenderBird, Chickentopia and Smart Foods4Schools. The recall is said to affect the chicken produced between Dec. 19, 2016 and March 7, 2017.

Even though there have been no reports of consumers suffering adverse effects from the metal parts, the FSIS encourages consumers to either return the products to the store or to discard them. Here are the products affected:
