Just over 31,000 pounds of chicken products have been recalled following a concern that they may be contaminated with pieces of bone and other “extraneous materials.”

The United States Department of Agriculture issued a Class I recall of some Perdue Foods LLC chicken products.

The fully cooked chicken products were produced March 21, 2019 and include the following:

  • 11.2 oz. plastic trays containing “PERDUE Simply Smart ORGANICS BREADED CHICKEN BREAST TENDERS – GLUTEN FREE” with a “USE BY MAY 20 2019” and UPC bar code of 072745-001437 on the label.
