Today the USDA has announced a massive recall of nearly 1 million pounds of popular breaded chicken products. The recall includes OK Food, Inc products sold between Dec. 19, 2016 through March 7, 2017. OK Foods received several customer complaints regarding metal objects found in their food. An investigation revealed that the metal came from the factory conveyor belts.
This is a Class I Recall, which according to the USDA: “is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
