The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced on February 19, 2025, that Swiss Chalet frozen chicken breast nuggets are being pulled from stores nationwide after people reported getting hurt from bone pieces in the food.
The nuggets, which come in shapes like stars, moons, and planets, are packed in 700-gram boxes. If you have these in your freezer, look for the number 066701011479 on the package and check if the “best before” date shows either BB 2025 SE 07 or BB 2025 SE 26.
“There have been reported injuries associated with the consumption of this product,” the CFIA warning states. While they haven’t shared exactly how many people got hurt or how badly, the risk was serious enough for Olymel, the company making these nuggets, to stop sales immediately.
The recall stretches across all of Canada because Olymel, which has 12,000 workers, makes these nuggets in plants across New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta. When food safety issues are identified, recalls are issued to remove all potentially affected products from the market.

If you find these nuggets in your freezer, don’t try to cook them – either throw them away or take them back to the store where you bought them. The CFIA is now doing a deeper investigation to make sure no other products have similar problems.
This kind of quick action shows how food safety systems protect consumers. When companies learn their products might harm someone, immediate action is required. Olymel didn’t wait to be told – they started the recall themselves, showing they take customer safety seriously.
The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace. They’re especially concerned about frozen foods because these can sit in home freezers for months, which means people might not know about the recall right away.
The ongoing investigation could reveal important information about food safety processes. Quality control in food processing helps ensure that products reaching consumers are safe for consumption. This attention to safety helps prevent potential harm to consumers.
For those wanting to check their nuggets, remember: look for the package number 066701011479 and those specific best-before dates. It’s better to verify now than risk consuming potentially unsafe food.
