Large Tyson chicken recall includes Arizona food service suppliers

Tyson Foods Inc. has voluntarily recalled 51,360 pounds of uncooked chicken in 29 states, including Arizona, due to a soy-based allergen. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the product, and the company says the recall is a precautionary measure.

The affected products were sold to food service companies, which typically supply restaurants, rather than retailers. The companies were asked to recover and hold the products for collection by the Arkansas-based supplier.

Tyson has been reducing the number of allergens in its food service products and produced some products with its old formulation while prematurely using a new label, the company said Thursday. The products were produced at the company's Vicksburg, Miss., location between July 23 Aug. 5.

A consumer hotline has been set up at 800-233-6332.

Very scary stuff people! What is with the poor quality control of late? It's getting to be a constant problem with the food we eat!
