The last thing any of us want to find out is that a product we own is being recalled. But when it comes to the food we love, it’s always better to know about any potential dangers before it's too late. And while nothing’s stopping anyone from enjoying their favorite seasonal/year-round eats, the health and safety of ourselves and the ones we love most should always come first.
This week, Hormel Foods Corporation is giving us all a reason to check our freezers, as the Austin, Minnesota–based company just announced a recall of roughly 4,874,815 pounds of ready-to-eat frozen chicken products. Working together with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the official notice cites the reason for the recall as the potential presence of metal pieces in the identified products.

If any of the products named above are in your freezer at home, it’s strongly recommended that you throw them away and do not eat them. You can also return them to the place of purchase for a refund or exchange. The FSIS notes that some of these products may also be in the freezers of hotels, restaurants, and other institutions. These businesses are urged not to serve the affected products and to dispose of them completely.
The problem is said to have been discovered after Hormel received multiple complaints from food service customers who found metal in their frozen chicken breast and thigh products. After an investigation, Hormel determined that the metal likely came from the conveyor belt used in production. And while there have not yet been any confirmed reports of injury from consuming these products, anyone concerned about a potential injury should absolutely contact a healthcare professional immediately.
