Perdue Frozen Chicken Nuggets Recalled

SALISURY -- Perdue Farms Inc. is recalling thousands of pounds of frozen chicken nugget products officials say could contain pieces of plastic.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday that the products include 1-pound, 13-ounce bags of "GREAT VALUE Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets."

The recall involves only Great Value-branded fully cooked chicken nuggets with a "Best If Used By Date" of June 9, 2011 and the numbers "89008" followed by the letter "A" and the numbers "0160" printed on the backside of the package. The package also bears Establishment number "P-33944." No other Great Value-branded chicken products or Perdue products are involved in the recall.

Officials are recalling approximately 91,872 pounds of the nuggets after the Salisbury-based company discovered small pieces of blue plastic following consumer complaints.

Agriculture authorities have not gotten any reports of injuries. Consumers with the affected product should return it to the retailer for a full refund.
