When meat becomes bad it gives off this odor that could range from bad to devastating and that is what exactly happened to Tyson Food Inc.'s chicken wings.
Complains have been pouring in from consumers of the Tyson Food Inc. products, saying that there was an odd odor coming from their chicken as well as mild illness after consumption.
Almost 52,000 pounds of buffalo chicken wings have been recalled by Tyson Food Inc.
The specific brand name is "Tyson Any'tizers Fully Cooked Hot Wings," which according to Tyson is "Chicken wing sections coated with a flavorful hot, tangy sauce," with use by dates of October 24, 2016 to October 25, 2016, packaging dates 2975PBF0508-23/2985PBF0500-01 and case codes 2975PBF0508-23/2985PBF0500-01.
The United States Department of Agriculture urges people who have bought the product to not consume it as to not endanger anybody's health.
"The problem was discovered when Tyson Foods Inc. received consumer complaints about the product being "off-odor" as well mild illness associated with consumption," reports the USDA. "After these consumer complaints, Tysons Food Inc. brought this to the attention of [Food Safety and Inspection Service]."
The USDA has posted it on their bulletin at their website.
As of why there is an off-odor with the Tyson Food Inc. chicken wings, there are still no confirmed reasons, but as of now the USDA is looking at adulteration of the chicken product.
Tyson Food Inc. is the second biggest processor and marketer of chicken, beef and pork, only behind Brazilian JBS S.A. and is the largest exporter of beef outside of the Unites States.
The company has been under fire for several controversial reasons such as their undisclosed case of using antibiotics, which the USDA discovered to be not true.
On 2008, Tyson Food Inc. were found to have used gentamicin, in their eggs that is why USDA is looking at adulteration of the chicken being recalled.
