Wegmans frozen chicken nuggets recalled over possible bone fragments
BOSTON – Popular grocery store chain Wegmans has recalled frozen chicken nuggets in multiple states over concerns that there may be bone fragments in the packages.
A public health alert was issued for frozen, fully cooked Wegmans breaded chicken breast nuggets by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it is concerned that consumers may still have some of the nugget packages in their freezers. Consumers who still have packages are urged not to eat the product, and to throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption.
Wegmans chicken nugget recall
A typical recall from the agency wasn't issued because the product is no longer for sale.
The alert covers 46 ounce plastic packages containing "Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat" with a best if used by date of Aug. 26, 2025.
That is located on the back of the packaging next to the barcode in the lower right corner. The product was produced on Aug. 26, 2024.
Where did Wegmans recall chicken nuggets?
The nuggets were only made for Wegmans Food Markets and distributed in Massachusetts.
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. were also included in the recall.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it was notified of the issue after Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints of bone fragments in the product.
Wegmans said that all packages can be returned for a full refund.
Customers can contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm or Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

RHA aiding residents in Danforth and Hudson-Ridge Towers after program termination
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Multiple residents have moved out of Danforth and Hudson Ridge Towers after the termination of a housing program. The Enriched Housing Program's services were terminated for the residents living there. The program was run through Family Service Communities, which said the programs were closed to ensure the 'health and safety' of participating residents. 28 of the 29 former residents of the program are being assisted by the Rochester Housing Authority. They are securing housing solutions for the affected residents. Wegmans provided meal arrangements for residents in need. It was originally reported that people were being evicted from the towers. The Housing Authority clarified this was not the case — the Department of Health was relocating those affected, as others were invited to stay under a different program. Below is the most recent statement from the Rochester Housing Authority: 'As of today, the Rochester Housing Authority has assisted 28 of 29 former Enriched Housing Program residents from Danforth and Hudson Ridge Towers in identifying or securing appropriate housing solutions. Most will remain in their RHA units and become Public Housing residents.' 'We remain focused on ensuring the stability, safety, and well-being of all affected residents during this transition. Our team has done a great job assisting residents and continues to work closely with Monroe County Department of Human Services, Office of the Aging, Lifespan, and other partners to evaluate each individual's needs and provide coordinated support to ensure the residents receive the proper support services they need.' 'We would also like to thank Wegmans for working with us to establish meal arrangements for residents in need of this service. Their support has helped meet critical daily needs during a challenging time. ' 'We thank our community partners and the media for their continued interest and compassion. Additional updates will be shared as progress continues.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

How you can help curb hunger at your local Wegmans
CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) — If you're planning on heading out to grocery shop at any Wegmans in the area now until June 18, you can fill a backpack for a child in need with just $5. 'All you have to do is go to the register and when you're checking out your groceries, make a donation,' said Wegmans Spokesperson Michele Mehaffy. 'Three dollars, or $5, or really any amount helps. We are hoping to collect enough to be able to properly give 35,000 backpacks out this year.' Donations go directly to FeedMore WNY's program 'Fill the Backpack!' which provides shelf-stable food for local kids outside of school. This year's campaign goal will allow almost half a year of service for 65 schools, if reached. 'Because it's in schools to students directly, it's not an open pantry program, we have to fund all of the backpack program through private funds, through grants, through campaigns like this, through individual donations,' said Cait Evans, FeedMore WNY chief development officer. 'So, you're quite literally allowing us to purchase the food that will go directly to students so that they have those items in their home.' Inside each backpack are nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals like canned tuna or chicken, mac and cheese, and granola bars, helping to fight food insecurity when school meals aren't available.'About 1 in 5 children in Western New York, Erie, Niagara, Chautauqua counties are struggling with food insecurity and many of them are going to schools where they may be getting free or reduced lunch options for breakfast and lunch,' said Evans. 'When that weekend comes or the summer months come there may not be that amount of food access there that they're typically used to, so this type of program really ensures that those grocery items are in the household.'FeedMore has teamed up with Wegmans, WIVB News 4 and Renewal by Andersen to help fill the backpacks. Mehaffy says Wegmans has supported this campaign for over a decade, with the need in the community making it personal. Doing your part is as easy as heading to any Western New York Wegmans location and donating at the register before June 18. Gwyn Napier is a reporter who joined the News 4 team in 2025.

USDA Issues Warning on Ground Beef Sold Nationwide for Possible E. Coli Contamination
The USDA issued a public health alert warning consumers against eating 1-lb. vacuum-packed packages of "Organic Rancher Organic Ground Beef 85% LEAN 15% Fat' The agency noted that the product tested positive for E. coli The agency said there have "been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products"The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a warning for ground beef that may have been contaminated with E. coli. The USDA shared a public health alert on Tuesday, June 3 warning people to avoid eating the 1-lb. vacuum-packed packages of "Organic Rancher Organic Ground Beef 85% LEAN 15% Fat' if it is located in their homes. The ground beef product was produced on May 22, 2025, and May 23, 2025 and bears establishment number "EST. 4027" inside the USDA mark of inspection, according to the agency. The USDA said the product was shipped to distributor locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland, and was later distributed to Whole Foods Market retail locations nationwide. The agency was eventually notified that the ground beef product tested positive for E. coli. A recall was not announced since the USDA said the 'products are no longer available for purchase.' However, if they are in a person's freezer or refrigerator, that person should throw it away or return it to the 'place of purchase," the alert said. 'There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider,' the USDA said in a statement. E. coli is a bacteria that is commonly found in the gut of humans and warm-blooded animals, and if people eat foods contaminated with certain strains of the bacteria, it can cause 'severe foodborne disease,' according to the World Health Organization. Some symptoms of ingesting a food item with E. coli include diarrhea and severe stomach cramps, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In severe cases, people can also experience a high fever of 102°F and above and hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can lead to 'kidney failure, permanent health problems, and even death.'

'This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults,' the USDA said. 'It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output.' 'Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately,' the agency added. The USDA noted that it advises all consumers to 'safely prepare their raw meat products' and 'only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160° F' — which is a high enough temperature to 'kill harmful bacteria.'
