Chicken Nuggets Recalled In Pa. After Plastic Found Inside

Perdue Foods has recalled 4,530 pounds of chicken nuggets shipped to seven states, including Pennsylvania, because they may be contaminated with plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said.

The products, produced for Applegate Farms, were recalled after consumer complaints of small, solid, clear plastic inside the nuggets.

The following products have been recalled: 8-oz. boxed packages containing approximately 18 pieces of “Applegate Naturals Chicken Nuggets” with Best Before Date 09/27/2016.

The products have an establishment number “P-2617” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to Pennsylvania as well as Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York and Texas.

"There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

Consumers who have purchased the nuggets should not eat them and instead should return them to the store.
