Details of the Recall
- The recall affects three specific products: Perdue Breaded Chicken Tenders
- Butcher Box Organic Chicken Breast Nuggets
- Perdue Simply Smart Organics Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets
Customer Complaints Ignite Recall
Perdue and FSIS were inundated with customer complaints about metal wire lurking in the chicken products. After these alarming reports, the company delved into the issue and confirmed the presence of thin metal strands in certain packages.Jeff Shaw, Perdue’s senior vice president of food safety and quality, revealed that the metal wires had accidentally infiltrated the manufacturing process. In response, Perdue opted to pull all potentially compromised packages from the market.
No Injuries Reported So Far
Up to this point, no injuries or adverse reactions have been linked to the tainted products. However, FSIS and Perdue urge consumers to scour their freezers for the affected items.wwwwwwwwwwForeign Object Contamination: A Pervasive Issue
Contamination with foreign objects is a leading cause of food recalls in the U.S. Tyson Foods had to retract 30,000 pounds (13,600 kilograms) of chicken nuggets last November due to metal contamination. Other recalls have been sparked by plastic fragments, rocks, and even insects.
