Frozen chicken nuggets recalled over bone fragment fears

There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of the affected nuggets. The grocery store conglomerate urged customers to throw out the 46-ounce bags of frozen nuggets that have an expiration date of August 26, 2025. Customers can also return the product for a full refund at any Wegmans location.
The nuggets were only made for Wegmans Food Markets and distributed in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it was notified of the issue after Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints of bone fragments in the product.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption. The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it is concerned that consumers may still have some of the nugget packages in their freezers. Consumers who still have packages are urged not to eat the product, and to throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased.
The Braga Fresh’s ready-to-eat 12oz Marketside Broccoli Florets recall was moved to Class 1, which is described as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death” by the FDA.
The FDA issued the initial voluntary recall earlier this month when possible listeria contamination “was discovered during random sampling by Texas Health & Human Services from a Texas store location where one of multiple samples yielded a positive test result.”.
