Perdue is recalling around 68,244 pounds of gluten-free chicken nuggets as they might be filled with…
...wood?
<p><strong>Yikes!</strong></p><p>Yes, according to the USDA Food and Safety Inspection Service, these nuggets "<a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/recalls/perdue-recalls-32-tons-of-organic-chicken-nuggets/" target="_blank">may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically wood</a>"</p><p><img alt="Image result for ew gif" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/WyvcFfz9pztoA/giphy.gif"></p><p>Might be gluten-free, and it might even be organic, but I can assure you wood is one ingredient that shouldn't be in most chicken nuggets. </p><p>The product affected is the Gluten Free Perdue SimplySmart Organics Breaded Chicken Nuggets. </p><p>Like the other nuggets from the popular chicken company, these are ready-to-eat and are kept in the frozen food section.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
