SlateStone Wealth chief market strategist Kenny Polcari gives his take on the controversial cuisine on Making Money.
Food giant Tyson on Saturday announced the voluntary recall of about 30,000 pounds of frozen, fully cooked chicken nuggets after some consumers reported finding small pieces of metal in the product.
The recall impacts dinosaur-shaped “fun nuggets” made by Tyson on Sept. 5 and sold in 29-ounce plastic bags labeled “fully cooked fun nuggets breaded shaped chicken patties.” No other Tyson brand products are affected by this recall.
“A limited number of consumers have reported they found small, pliable metal pieces in the product, and out of an abundance of caution, the company is recalling this product,” Tyson said in the recall announcement.

The product was shipped to distributors in several states including Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin for further distribution to retailers, according to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The agency will publish a retail distribution list of stores that received the product once it’s available.
