Chicken nuggets are a staple in many homes across the United States. That’s why it’s so important that news spreads of this chicken nugget recall. The affected products were made by the popular brand Perdue, who is known for carrying many frozen chicken products. This recall was made, in part, thanks to vigilant customers making the company aware of the issue. The issue? Metal wire was found in some of their products.
When Perdue was made aware of this issue, they worked with the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) to resolve it. In doing so, they discovered that around 167,171 pounds of products may be contaminated by the foreign metal material. This, of course, led to the recall.
According to Jeff Shaw, the company’s senior vice president of food safety and quality, Perdue “determined the material to be a very thin strand of metal wire that was inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing process.”
