The USDA Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on June 9, three days after the problem was discovered. Tyson was notified by a supplier that the bread crumbs in the recalled products contained milk — an ingredient not listed on the label.

There have been no confirmed adverse reactions associated with consumption of the recalled products. Anyone concerned about an illness or injury should contact a healthcare provider.

The recall involves chicken items that were packaged on various dates between August 17, 2016 and January 14, 2017.
