Tyson Foods Inc. has recalled nearly 2.5 million pounds of ready-to-eat breaded chicken products because of undeclared allergens and misbranding.
The Arkansas-based company said it discovered the issue on June 6, when a supplier notified Tyson Foods that the bread crumbs used in certain products could contain undeclared milk.
The breaded chicken products were produced and packaged from Aug. 17, 2016, through Jan. 14, 2017, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
