Chicken nuggets recalled by Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart recalls 50,000 chicken nugget packages

In Wal-Mart stores around the country, Great Value brand chicken nuggets are recalled. The Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall affects one pound, 13 ounce bags of nuggets labeled with the Great Value brand. Manufactured by Perdue, these nuggets have blue plastic in them.

Stores recall chicken nuggets

On July 21, Perdue Farms and the USDA announced the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall. Some customers found chunks of blue plastic in their nuggets. The chicken nuggets incorporated in the recall are identified by:

  • Bags that weigh in at one pound, 13 ounces
  • Labeled as an excellent Value brand
  • Establishment code number P-33944
  • 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.

Blue plastic causes chicken nugget recall

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

Make your own nugget goodness

It is possible to have chicken nuggets without worrying about the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall. Making your own nuggets is simple, fast, and healthier than the pre-made ones. Chicken nuggets made at home cost less than $ 1 per serving. Start by chopping boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders into chunks. Mix together bread crumbs and seasonings, or even use a product like Shake ‘n Bake. Dunk the chicken in milk, egg or melted butter, then into the bread crumb mixture. Bake at 350 for 10 to 20 minutes. If you need a true fast food taste, deep-fat fry them at 450 for 3 to five minutes.
