Dear Tyson Foods, Inc.,
I normally buy your chicken nuggets and find them very good. However, yesterday I decided to try your Southern Style Chicken Patties and when I bit into one today after making it, it was full of bone chips. After 4 bites full of bone chips, I had to throw the pattie out. I had made one for my son and took it away from him for fear he was going to chip a tooth or worse. I have to say I was very disappointed in this product and will not be buying it again. It is a shame that your company is producing something so low quality. I encourage you to think about preventing this from happening - a lot of moms give this stuff to their kids and wouldn’t it be awful if someone broke a tooth or cut their throat/mouth on this.
Sincerely,
MamaWise
Guess it’s time for me to get my meat grinder out and make my own chicken patties. Does anyone have any good recipes? Serves me right for buying processed food.
BOOOOOOOOOO to Tyson!

Hey. Have you tried the Banquest chicken nuggets/patties? I find them much tastier than Tyson.

Thank you for emailing Tyson Foods, Inc. with your concerns regarding the Tyson Southern Style Chicken Patties. I am the mother of an eight year old and a two year old. I understand your concerns. Let me assure you that bone removal is a top priority at our company. We process over 42 million birds per week and statistics indicate that bones in boneless items are a rarity. We strive for 100% bone elimination; however, there is an inherent potential for bones in any foods processed from birds, animals, or fish. Likewise, cherries, olives, and peaches also have the potential for seeds or pits to remain in the product.
Our quality assurance directors, research scientists, and plant engineers work with equipment companies to design machines that will optimize bone removal. Trimmers and inspectors examined the meat both visually and manually. Quality Assurance conducts statistical sampling and uses process control to verify bone elimination.
Again, we regret that you and your son had an unpleasant experience. We have sent you correspondence via postal mail. Thank you again for advising us. Please know that we are committed to producing quality products for you and your family.
