Perdue Chicken Recall – Which Nuggets And Tenders To Check For In Your Freezer
There’s a big Perdue chicken recall you definitely need to know about. Many of us regularly have some nuggets and tenders in our freezer at any given moment. Especially if you have kids, or adults with a toddler palate, in your home. Here’s everything you need to know about the Perdue chicken recall, and what to do if you have any of the affected chicken.
Which Products Are Affected By The Perdue Chicken Recall
Perdue Foods LLC, along with the USDA, has voluntarily recalled 167,171 pounds of frozen breaded chicken breast tenders and nuggets. This comes after a foreign material was found in a limited number of consumer packages. The good news is that there have been no reports of illness or injury associated with the products.
According to Perdue, “We determined the material to be a very thin strand of metal wire that was inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing process,” said Jeff Shaw, senior vice president of food safety and quality for Perdue. “Out of an abundance of caution, we decided to voluntarily recall all of these packages of products.”
