MID-ATLANTIC STATES — CHICKEN NUGGETS FROM A POPULAR SUPERMARKET BRAND that were distributed to New York and other East Coast states are under a public health alert after foreign material was found in the packaging.

The U.S. Food Safety & Inspection Service has issued a Public Health Alert for “Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat,” with a best-if-used-by date of Aug. 26, 2025. FSIS was notified of the issue after Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints of bone fragments in the frozen fully chicken nugget product. The product subject to the public health alert bears establishment number “P-33944” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

This item, produced on August 26, 2024 for Wegmans, was distributed to retail locations in New York (NYC’s two Wegmans stores are in the Brooklyn Navy Yard campus and on the Upper West Side.) The product was also distributed in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The alert is issued to warn consumers not to consume the product that they may have in their freezers.

A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase. No injuries have been reported from the complaints made to Wegmans.
