About 69,093 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken products have been recalled by Tyson Foods. The recall announced by the USDA Foods Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) cites products could be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically pieces of metal.

The products involved in the recall are listed below:
