Perdue recalls its frozen chicken nuggets for possible metal contamination.
The FSIS has announced that Perdue Breaded Chicken Tenders, Perdue Simply Smart Organics Breaded Chicken Brest Nuggets, and Butcher Box Organic Chicken Breast Nuggets are all being recalled after customers found what appeared to be bits of metal wire in their products.
These items were sold nationally, and each has a best-by date of March 23, 2025, and the number P-33944 on the packages.
The FSIS is urging consumers to check their chicken. Those who discover that they have purchased the recalled products shouldn't consume them. Instead, customers should either throw them in the trash or return them to wherever they were purchased. Anyone with questions should contact the manufacturer directly by calling 866-866-3703.

Here's what to do if you've consumed the recalled food.
If you've already eaten any of the products included in the recall, you may not need to panic. The FSIS notes that there has yet to be any reports of death or injury as a result of the recall.
Still, if you have eaten the recalled meat you may want to reach out to your healthcare provider so that they can tell you what you'll need to be on the lookout for in the coming days.
As for those looking for an alternative to Perdue's chicken during this recall, you may want to look to retailers like Impossible Foods, who make plant-based alternatives to most meat products including chicken nuggets and hamburgers.
Factory farming is bad for animals and the planet.
The number of resources used by factory farmers, and the amount of greenhouse gases generated during the farming process, all play a major role in furthering the effects of climate change . That's why so many are opting to forego animal products entirely, instead basing their diets on foods that are easier to grow, process, and distribute.
Whether that means plant-based diets , shopping locally, or homesteading when possible , many are saying "no" to foods manufactured by companies like Perdue in favor of more sustainable options in the hopes of creating a bright future for everyone.
