Tyson Foods Inc. is recalling about 52,486 pounds of its chicken wings product called Any'tizers Fully Cooked Hot Wings Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Sections.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on Tuesday, Nov.17 that it suspects the said product to be attenuated due to its "off-odor" smell.

The buffalo style chicken wings in question were manufactured on Oct. 24-25, 2015 at Tyson's Pine Bluff, Ark, facility. The specific products affected by the recall are those that come in 28-ounce retail packs, containing numerous pieces of chicken wings coated in "flavorful, hot, tangy sauce."

The product has "Best if Used By" dates of Oct. 24, 2016 and Oct. 25, 2016, and a UPC code of 0 23700 01118 3. Date codes, according to FSIS, include 2975PBF0508-23 and 2985PBF0500-01. Establishment code is P-13456 and can be found atop the heating instructions at the back of the retail bag, as well as in the USDA mark of inspection.

The product, which was delivered to retail stores all across the country, was first questioned after Tyson Foods received complaints from its customers. "Consumers who contacted the company indicated the product had an off odor," Tyson Foods stated.

Mild illness was also linked to product consumption. The company then reported the feedback to the FSIS.

So far, there have been no reports of serious adverse effects due to the consumption of the products. FSIS advises the public to get in touch with their healthcare provider if they experience any signs of injury or illness.

The government agency also urges people, who have bought the product, to throw them away or return it back to the store of purchase, and to not eat them at all costs.

Part of FSIS work is to perform routine checks of recall effectiveness to confirm that companies that call for recalls properly inform their customers and take the necessary actions to ensure that customers can no longer have access to the products.
