Perdue recalls more than 167,000 pounds of frozen chicken nuggets and tenders due to possible metal wire in them
Perdue Foods is recalling more than 167,000 pounds of frozen chicken nuggets and tenders after some customers reported finding metal wire embedded in the products.
According to Perdue and the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recall covers select lots of three products: Perdue Breaded Chicken Tenders, Butcher Box Organic Chicken Breast Nuggets and Perdue Simply Smart Organics Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets.
The FSIS and Perdue determined that some 167,171 pounds of the products may be contaminated with a foreign material after receiving an unspecified number of customer complaints.
Tyson Foods recalled nearly 30,000 pounds of chicken nuggets after consumers also found metal pieces in the dinosaur-shaped products.
Beyond metal, plastic fragments, rocks, bits of insects and more “extraneous” materials have prompted recalls by making their way into packaged goods.
