Pilgrim's Pride Corp. is expanding its recall to include over 5.1 million pounds of various fully cooked chicken products, including nuggets, patties, and diced chicken leg meat sold under brands like Green Dragon, Gold Kist Farms, Pierce Chicken, and Sweet Georgia Brand. These items were produced between May 2015 and December 2015 and shipped for institutional use, including schools, nationwide. The recall was initiated because the chicken may contain extraneous metal materials that pose a safety hazard.
The chicken products may be contaminated with foreign metal materials, which can cause mouth or throat injuries, choking, or internal damage if ingested. While no injuries have been confirmed, the contamination was discovered following multiple consumer complaints of plastic and metal found in the food.
