Saturday’s release expanded Tyson’s recall in March, when more than 69,000 pounds of chicken strips were recalled, FSIS said in its statement.

The latest recall concerns products produced from Oct. 1, 2018, through March 8, 2019, FSIS said. The packages contained “use by dates” of Oct. 1, 2019, through March 7, 2020, according to the news release.

The recalled products contain the number “P-7221” on the back of the package and were shipped nationwide and to the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to FSIS.

The problem was revealed when FSIS received two complaints, but the agency said it is now aware of six overall complaints.

According to FSIS, products recalled include Tyson fully cooked crispy chicken strips in 25-ounce and 40-ounce bags; Tyson fully cooked Buffalo-style chicken strips in 25-ounce and 40-ounce bags; Tyson fully cooked honey BBQ flavored chicken strips in 25-ounce bags; Best Choice Buffalo-style chicken strips in 20-ounce bags; Great Value fully cooked chicken strips in 25-ounce bags; and Food Lion crispy chicken strips in 25-ounce bags.

Over 36,400 Pounds of Tyson Chicken Nuggets Recalled For Rubber Contamination Concerns

In the previous recall, the products had only one use-by date: Nov. 30, 2019, CNN reported.

On Jan. 30, Tyson recalled 36,420 pounds of chicken nuggets because of fears the food could have been contaminated with rubber. Twelve days earlier, Perdue recalled 68,244 pounds of gluten-free chicken nuggets over concerns the food could be contaminated with wood.
