Stores recall chicken nuggets

On July 21, Perdue Farms and the USDA announced the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall. Chunks of blue plastic were found within the nuggets and packages. The chicken nuggets involved in the recall are identified by:

  • Bags that weigh in at one pound, 13 ounces
  • Labeled as a fantastic Value brand
  • Establishment code number P-33944
  • Identified with case code 89008 A0160

Return the nuggets to the store where they were purchased in order to get a refund. The companies will end up paying the whole cost of the recall — estimated at $ 500,000.

Recall caused by blue plastic within the nugget

The recall on Wal-Mart chicken nuggets is considered a class II recall. The translation of this is that there are no “adverse health consequences” and no injuries. As outlined by Perdue Farms, a “small plastic ring” got mixed in with the raw meat.

Chicken nuggets at home

Worrying about the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall doesn’t have to be a part of your day, even if you love nuggets. Making your own nuggets is simple, fast, and healthier than the pre-made ones. All the ingredients for chicken nuggets will cost about $ 15, but will make three to four pounds — 12 to 16 servings. Chop chicken breasts or tenders into small chunks – the nuggets. Stir together bread or cracker crumbs and seasonings. Dunk the chicken in milk, egg or melted butter, then into the bread crumb mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes. If you’re relatively brave, you can even deep-fat-fry them.
