Parents checking their freezers should look closely at their Wegmans chicken nuggets. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert after finding bone fragments in some packages.
The FSIS reports multiple consumer complaints about bone pieces found in Wegmans FAMILY PACK FULLY COOKED Breaded Chicken Breast nuggets.
The affected packages are easy to spot: look for the 46-ounce size with “best if used by 08/26/25” printed near the barcode. Each package also shows “P-33944” inside the USDA inspection mark.
Nine states received these shipments: Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Though stores no longer sell these nuggets, many families likely have them stored in their freezers.
