WASHINGTON – Tyson Foods Inc. has recalled approximately 3,120 pounds of frozen breaded chicken products that may be contaminated by extraneous materials, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday.

The products affected by the recall have the establishment number “P-746” on the product package. They were shipped to food service establishments across the U.S. and are no longer available for purchase in stores.
