Davenport schools warn of recalled chicken in pick-up meals

The school district is telling parents to toss out any chicken fajita meat they may still have from weekly meals given out on some days from February to June.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — The Davenport Community School District sent out a warning to parents after chicken meat that was used in some weekly pick-up meals was recalled by the manufacturer.  These meals were distributed over the course of several months.

On July 3, Tyson Foods issued a recall of 8 million pounds of several ready-to-eat chicken meat products due to a potential Lysteria contamination.

On July 6, DCSD issued a statement saying affected meat was used in pick-up meals in specific days from February through June.

DCSD said that meals containing relevant chicken fajita meat were given out from the Davenport Learning Center on Feb. 9th, March 30th, May 4th, May 18th, June 22nd, and June 29th.

Officials said that that if anyone out there still has some of this meat, they should dispose of it immediately. 

Overall, 30 different chicken products are affected, all of which can be found on the USDA's website here, along with product labels.
