(KGTV) - Tyson Foods Inc. is recalling nearly 2.5 million pounds of chicken products due to misbranding and concerns of undeclared allergens.
The poultry giant said about 2,485,374 pounds of ready-to-eat breaded chicken products could contain milk, a known allergen, not declared on the product labels.
The products were produced and packaged between Aug. 17, 2016, and Jan. 14, 2017, and have the USDA inspection number "P-1325."
The problem was discovered on June 6 when an ingredient supplier reported bread crumbs the company received and used may potentially contain undeclared milk, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The items were shipped for institutional use nationwide and schools have purchased products through the company’s commercial channels.
There have not been any confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consuming the product.
