Perdue Recalls 500 Pounds of Ready-to-Eat Chicken

Nearly 500 pounds of frozen ready-to-eat chicken products are being recalled by Perdue Foods because of a misbranding issue and undeclared allergens.

The US Department of Agriculture made the announcement saying that that product contains wheat which is not on the label.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the government says the frozen ready-to-eat products are labeled as gluten free but do have chicken nugget products.

The products involved 22-ounce plastic bags labeled “Simply Smart Organics Chicken Breast Tenders Gluten Free.”

They were produced on August 30th.
