Tyson has been working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the recall, though there was no conclusive evidence the products were contaminated at the time of shipment.

"We’re committed to providing safe, healthy food that people rely on every day," said Scott Brooks, senior vice president, food safety and quality assurance, for Tyson Foods. "We are taking this precautionary step out of an abundance of caution and in keeping with our commitment to safety."
