Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling 1,148 pounds of Tyson Fully Cooked Golden Crispy Popcorn Chicken sold to a single wholesale distributor in Illinois. The amount of recalled chicken products amounts to 35 cases.

The products are being recalled after one customer found a piece of plastic in one package. There have been no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product.

The recalled chicken products were not sold at retail, but rather a wholesaler that distributed the product to schools and foodservice providers in Illinois and Missouri, according to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

In a press release, Tyson Foods stated that it has inspected all lines at the production facility to ensure product quality standards are being met, and that the company is continuing to evaluate processes and equipment at all of its facilities to prevent similar occurrences.
