Wal-Mart stores have recalled a huge number of Great Value brand chicken nuggets. The Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall affects one pound, 13 ounce bags of nuggets labeled with the Great Value brand. Blue plastic has been found within the nuggets manufactured by Perdue Farms.
Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall
The Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall was called by Perdue Farms, Inc. and also the USDA on July 21. Chunks of blue plastic were found in the nuggets and packages. The standards for the recall are:
- Bags that weigh in at one pound, 13 ounces
- Labeled as an excellent Value brand
- Establishment number (on the bottom of the package) P-33944
- Case code printed on the package of 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 full cost of the recall will probably end up being around $ 500,000.
Recall caused by blue plastic within the nugget
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 has said that it expects that a “small plastic ring” was mixed in with the raw meat.
Creating 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. All the ingredients for chicken nuggets will cost about $ 15, but will make 3 to four pounds — 12 to 16 servings. Start by chopping boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders into chunks. Stir together bread or cracker crumbs and seasonings. Dunk the chicken nuggets in a liquid like milk or butter, and then coat with bread crumbs. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes. Or, in case you are brave, deep-fat fry in 450 degree oil for three minutes.
