Approximately 24 cans produced on May 18, 2012 were mislabeled and actually contained Beef with Gravy. The gravy contains wheat and is a potential allergen. Tyson Foods has accounted for 14 of the 24 cans, however as a precautionary measure, the company is recalling all 12.5-oz. cans of chunk chicken produced that day.
Tyson reported that there have been no illnesses associated with this mislabeling. The company also pointed out that the product is fully cooked and there is no danger to consumers as long as this or any beef or chicken product is properly handled.
The mislabeled product can be identified by the date code 8965 248A 12139 printed directly on the end of each can. The can also has a “best by” date of May 18, 2015.
