Foster Farms is recalling more than 220,000 pounds of its cooked frozen chicken nuggets distributed throughout the Western United States.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the chicken "may be contaminated with extraneous blue plastic and black rubber materials."
The products subject to recall include:
• 5-pound bags of Foster Farms' "Breast Nuggets -- Nugget Shaped Breaded Chicken Breast Patties with Rib Meat." The bags exhibit "best by" dates of February 21, 2017, and March 8, 2017.
• 10-pound bulk boxes of Foster Farms' "Breast Nuggets -- Nugget Shaped Breaded Chicken Breast Patties with Rib Meat." The boxes contain package codes 6053 and 6068.
According to Foster Farms, the affected 5-pound bags were sold at Costco locations in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Washington. The 10-pound bags were sold to nonretail wholesale distributors in California and Arizona.
Foster Farms said the problem was discovered after customer complaints, and it notified the USDA on Friday.
