National recall of Swiss Chalet-brand chicken nuggets after reports of injuries
Producer Olymel initiated recall over possible pieces of bone, says Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Swiss Chalet-brand frozen chicken breast nuggets, produced by Olymel, have been recalled across Canada over the possible presence of pieces of bone, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced Wednesday.
"There have been reported injuries associated with the consumption of this product," the advisory says.
No information about the number of injuries, types of injuries or severity of injuries is provided.
The "extraneous material" recall, initiated by the company, involves 700-gram packages with the UPC 066701011479, and best before codes of BB 2025 SE 07 and BB 2025 SE 26.
An image on the box shows the nuggets come in the shapes of stars, moons and planets.
People should not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products, the food agency said.
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
"The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products."
It is also verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace.
Olymel has plants in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, according to its website.
The company has 12,000 employees working in plants, offices and distribution centres worldwide.
