Perdue recalls chicken nuggets because they have wood in them
NJ.com Advanced Media ^ | January 17, 2019

Perdue recalled over 68,000 pounds of organic chicken nuggets on Thursday over fears that they may contain wood, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ready-to-eat Simplysmart Organics Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets that were shipped nationwide with a best by date of "10/25/19” and a UPC bar code of 72745-80656 were recalled, the department said in a release. Pictures of the possibly affected products can be seen here.

The problem was discovered after the department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) received three complaints that wood was found in the nuggets, officials said.

The department said that there were no reports of “adverse reactions” from anyone who has eaten the chicken and that anyone who was concerned about a “injury or illness” should call their doctor.

What kind of wood? Something nice, like applewood or is it one of those less tasty kinds of wood like pine.

Most Parmesan cheese has cellulose in it. Cellulose is wood.

China uses melamine - we use wood. All-natural ingredients are important to American industry. :)

It must have been Wolmanized® wood, hence the long shelf life.

Have you ever went over a friends house to eat
And the food just ain’t no good?
The macaroni’s soggy, the peas are mushed,
And the chicken tastes like wood

Giving a whole new meaning to the concept of “woody”.
