The problem was discovered after the firm notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting small metal pieces in the chicken patty product.

There has been one reported minor oral injury associated with consumption, FSIS said, noting that it has received no additional reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products.

Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS said it is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ freezers, adding that consumers who have purchased the products are urged not to consume them. They should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
