  • - Purchased two large bags of chicken from Wal-Mart.
  • - Legs had rotten bones, weren't cleaned well, and cuts combined thighs and legs.

I have bought 2 large bags of chicken from Wal-Mart.

I have bought your large bags of chicken , for years.

This time it was the worst that i have

every bought from your company.

Legs had rojen bones , wasn't cleaned out very well.

One thing that pissed me off was someone didn't cut the legs and thighs the way they should of .

They just cut both thighs and legs together, one whoke piece.

Very sloppy.

Tyson did send me a coupon for $9 (which I tried to use); however, since Walmart is the only place that sells their chicken brand, that coupon did not work in their system, despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue with supervisors, even with the exact chicken breast on the coupon. Went to Publix, but they only sell their frozen selection.

I did report that the coupon did not work, and their final recommendation was that I should find another store that would accept that coupon. Needless to say, the coupon is worthless and is now in the garbage with this chicken.

Original review Oct 23, 2025
First, I had chicken wings full of feathers that I had to pluck, and then I purchased a whole chicken, which I think has black mold. (I really would like to know.) See photos.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Quality control does not exist. I wish I had seen these prior comments before.
Loss:
$8

Preferred solution: Let me know for others that this matter will be taken seriously.

Do not buy this product! If you do buy it, be sure to squeeze the bag to make sure it is not punctured!

Original review Oct 15, 2025

Still had feathers on the raw chicken legs; legs were also chopped in half! Thighs also had the feathers left on them!

I am disabled and get my groceries delivered to my home, and packages I have bought over the years are getting awful! Where are inspections?

Who is letting this slip to the customers? They need to be investigated!

Loss:

Pros:
  • Cheaper than most
Cons:
  • Punctured bags
  • Cleanliness
  • Texture

Preferred solution: Fire the problems and do it right!

I'm not a pissed customer. I am trying to send pictures like the lady asked me. She was as kind as you could ask for.

Preferred solution: I spoke with a lady on the phone and she is going to send me a coupon. I could not find an expiration date on the package. I’m trying to send pictures to her. Thanks, Gracie Davis.

I'm not paying a dollar per thigh only to have to clean pin feathers off every single piece. Also so much skin left wrapped around just to add weight.

Tyson use to be better but not now. I use 2 8 pks of thighs per week so I will switch to Perdue.

Many friends have said same so good luck keeping customers. 9.98 per 8 thighs isn't cheap.

User's recommendation: Do not buy Tyson. They do not.clean chicken

We now the problem is new CFO. For declining profits she will shutdown plants and lay off people.

She did this before. Se is getting Tyson ready to be sold as she did in Canada with TC Energy.
