A party producing quick - to - eat volaille is recalling 933,272 pounds of its ostensibly schoolhouse cafeteria - bandage product . That ’s adequate to 26.5 millionMcNuggets , free-base on prior Gizmodo calculation . That is so much chicken .
Oklahoma City - base OK Foods , inc . * is recall chicken raise from Dec 19 , 2016 through Mar 7 , 2017 . This comes after five complaints brought a United States Department of Agriculture and an all right Foods intimate investigating — the party found bit of metal in along listof chicken intersection credibly meant for kid ’s schooltime lunches .
At least , I distrust these product are meant for schooling based on the fact that one of them is literally called “ Smart Foods 4 Schools Shamrock Shaped Chicken Fingers . ”
This might sound like a big reminiscence , but there have been much orotund ones . Pilgrim ’s Pride withdraw 27.5 million pound of quick - to - wipe out chicken and joker due to listeria contamination back in 2002 , as reported by Bloomberg News ( via the LA Times ) . Still , 26.5 million McNuggets is like , a meal for 4 million kids .
As for the source of the alloy , the investigation get that it in all likelihood come from the conveyer belt the chicken was processed on . I infer that makes sense , but it also makes me wonder what sort of grody old conveyor belt they were using that was causing spot of metal to skin off and get into the nutrient .
Anyway , I reached out to OK Foods twice , but the wheeler dealer hang up when I identified myself as a diarist both times . I will update the military post if I hear back .
- The USDA pressure release list the company as “ OK Food , ” but it seems they are actually referring to OK Foods . Will update if thing change .
