Nearly 5 million pounds of frozen chicken recalled

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced Hormel Foods is recalling nearly 4.9 million pounds of frozen boneless chicken products it sold to restaurants, cafeterias and other foodservice outlets. Customers have reported finding metal in the chicken breast and thigh products. The food safety service says Hormel found that the metal came from a conveyor belt used in production. There have been no reports of illnesses or injuries.

The food safety service said that some of the recalled chicken may be in freezers at hotels, restaurants and cafeterias and urged that it be thrown away.
