Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall affects 90,000 pounds

Wal-Mart recalls 50,000 chicken nugget packages

Wal-Mart stores have recalled a huge number of Great Value brand chicken nuggets. The recall affects one pound, 13 ounce Great Value brand packages of chicken nuggets. Perdue Farms manufactures the nuggets that are found with blue plastic.

Stores recall chicken nuggets

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

  • A one pound, 13 ounce bag of nuggets
  • Great Value labeled packaging
  • Establishment code number P-33944
  • Case code 89008 A0160

If you do have a bag of the recalled chicken nuggets, you just have to return it to the Wal-Mart for 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. There are no injuries or sicknesses reported as a result of this product. Perdue Farms explains the recall by saying a “small plastic ring” must have accidentally been mixed in with the raw meat.

Making your own chicken nuggets

Worrying about the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall doesn’t have to be a part of your day, even if you love nuggets. It is simple, fast, and healthy to make your own nuggets. The cost for homemade chicken nuggets clocks in at less than $ 1 per four-ounce serving. Start by chopping boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders into chunks. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and seasonings such as basil together. Dunk the chicken in milk, egg or melted butter, then to the bread crumb mixture. Bake them on a well-oiled sheet for 10 or 20 minutes. If you’re relatively brave, you are able to even deep-fat-fry them.
