The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that frozen chicken nuggets sold at Wegmans stores on the East Coast have been recalled by the store because they may be contaminated with bone fragments. The FSIS agency issued the public health alert because the fully cooked Wegmans frozen breaded chicken breast nuggets are no longer available for purchase but may still be in some consumers’ freezers.
Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints about bone fragments in the product. To date, there have been no confirmed injuries from consuming the chicken nuggets.
The product affected by the public health alert was sold in Wegmans retail locations in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
How To Identify the Chicken Nuggets
The nuggets were produced on Aug. 26, 2024, and sold in 46-ounce plastic packages containing the words “Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat” and UPC: 0-77890-25210-9.
The packages have a best-if-used-by date of “08 26 25” located on the back of the packaging next to the barcode in the lower right corner.
The packaging also has a USDA mark of inspection with the establishment number “P-33944.” A photo can be found here.
