- Wegmans issued a recall of family-sized frozen chicken nuggets.
- The recall occurred after consumers complained of finding bone fragments in the meat.
- The United States Department of Agriculture warned the public of the possible contamination.
A chicken nugget lover’s worst nightmare is to bite into something other than juicy, savory meat. And that’s exactly what happened to customers whose experience led to a Wegmans chicken nugget recall. The grocer pulled family packs of Wegmans Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat from freezers after consumers complained of discovering bone fragments in the meat.
The product is no longer on shelves, but could be stocked in peoples’ freezers, which is why both Wegmans and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shared a warning. The lot of 46-ounce bags affected had a best-by date of August 26, 2025 and featured a UPC number of 0-77890-25210-9. The packaging also has a USDA mark of inspection with the establishment number P-33944, as pictured here. The recall impacted Wegmans retailers in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
The USDA was notified of the food safety issue after Wegmans received multiple complaints from consumers. Wegmans and the USDA advise customers who purchased the chicken nuggets to not eat them and either throw them away or return the product for a full refund.
At the time of publication, there have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of the nuggets, the USDA said. However, anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider.
