Wegmans Food Markets has announced a recall of its frozen chicken nuggets after bone fragments were discovered, impacting consumers in eight states and the District of Columbia. The recall involves 46-ounce plastic packages of "Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat," with a best-by date of August 26, 2025. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert recently due to multiple consumer complaints regarding the presence of bone fragments in the product.

The nuggets, produced for Wegmans by Perdue, were flagged after potential safety concerns came to light. Although the product has not been available for sale in stores for some time, the FSIS is worried that some customers may still have these items frozen at home. As a precaution, the agency advises consumers to immediately throw away any remaining packages or return them to the store for a full refund, as noted in reports from USA Today and CBS News.

Though there have been no reported injuries linked to the consumption of these chicken nuggets, food safety is a top priority. Customers who have questions or require further assistance can contact Wegmans at 1-855-934-3663 during business hours. The full list of affected states includes Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Health experts emphasize the importance of vigilance when it comes to food safety recalls to prevent potential health risks.
