Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling 5,814 cases of its Fully Cooked, Whole Grain Golden Crispy Chicken Chunk Fritters after two consumers reported finding pieces of plastic in the product.

The chicken fritters are not sold in stores, but they are distributed to schools. The USDA confirmed that this product is not part of the National School Lunch Program but has been purchased separately by individual schools. Tyson says no reports of illness or injury have been filed.

The product was produced at one plant location on February 28, 2019, and each case bears the case code 0599NHL02 and the plant code P-1325 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Tyson said this product was sent to distribution centers in the following states:
