Take a closer look at the frozen chicken in the freezer before eating it. Tyson Foods has recalled nearly 40,000 pounds of frozen chicken patty products because they may be contaminated with “extraneous materials,” according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The impacted chicken has the brand name “Weaver” on the package. They were sent to distribution centers in 10 states: Missouri, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia and delivered to retail locations nationwide. The “best if used by” date on the package is January 31, 2020. The establishment number printed on the back of the plastic bag is “P-13456.”
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service listed this as a “Class I” recall. That means consuming the product could “cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” Read more details here.
WHAT’S BUZZING THAT HAS EVERYONE TALKING: Elon Musk Wants to Bomb Mars
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a gameplan for how to make Mars habitable for mankind: bomb it. He’s reintroduced the idea by posting about it on Twitter and making T-shirts supporting the idea.
Musk, who is also the founder of SpaceX, theorizes that detonating a nuclear weapon on the red planet would stir up enough greenhouse gases to essentially start a global warming phenomenon, which would allow water to remain in liquid form. Right now, Mars is far too cold for humans to live there.
However, NASA has previously dumped cold water on Musk’s idea. Scientists have questioned whether Mars has enough existing gases to sufficiently warm the planet, according to CNET.
