“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.”

The impacted products are the Perdue Simply Smart Organic gluten-free breaded chicken breast nuggets, the breaded chicken breast tenders, and the Butcher Box organic free fully frozen-cooked breast chicken nuggets. All have a “best-if-used-by date” of March 23, 2025. 

Perdue said no illness or injury associated with the products have been reported. Anyone with these packages in your home is told to not consume the product, and contact Perdue Foods at 866-866-3703 for a full refund of your purchase.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have additional concerns, please contact Perdue or visit the USDA website,” Perdue said.
