Foreign Material Contamination Alert Issued for Perdue Chicken Tenders

Due to the possibility of contamination with foreign substances, clear plastic, and blue dye, Perdue’s frozen ready-to-eat chicken breast tenders labeled gluten-free have been the subject of a public health notice since Tuesday.

Since the product is no longer available for purchase, there has been no recall.

Customers who may have purchased an affected product should check their freezers for the following items:

• 42-ounce plastic bags labeled “Perdue Chicken Breast Tenders Gluten Free.”
• With a “Best if Used By: 07 12 23”
• A lot number of 2193 (above the best-by date)
• Establishment number of P-33944 (below the best-by date)

If you have any July 12 products, please throw them away or return them immediately.

BJ’s Wholesale Club reported the contamination to the USDA after receiving a complaint from a customer whose chicken tender “had a small piece of clear plastic and blue dye inside it,”
