Tyson Foods has issued a recall for roughly 2.5 million pounds of ready-to-eat breaded chicken after determining the product may contain an undeclared allergen.
About the Tyson Chicken Recall
According to CNBC, the decision to recall the product came after a June 6 notification in which a supplier revealed that bread crumbs used by Tyson may contain milk.
Tyson has said that the recall is limited to food-service customers and that retail products are not affected.
No injuries have been reported.
