Public health alert issued over Perdue frozen chicken tenders that may contain plastic

The USDA advised buyers to dispose of the gluten-free tenders sold at BJs because they may contain small pieces of clear plastic and blue dye

The Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for Perdue brand gluten-free chicken breast tenders.

The USDA advised consumers to dispose of the tenders sold at BJs because they may contain small pieces of clear plastic and blue dye.

The frozen ready-to-eat products are no longer available for purchase so a recall is not needed, the department said in a statement.

The batch affected was produced on July 12 and is labelled to be best used by 23 July 2023.
