These Chicken Tenders Have Been Pulled From Grocery Store Shelves — Eat This Not That
It’s no secret that chicken tenders are a popular snack and meal option for many people. But recently, some chicken tenders have been pulled from grocery store shelves due to potential contamination. So what should you do if you’re looking for a tasty chicken tender option? Eat This Not That has the answer.
The chicken tenders in question were recalled due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. The recalled products were sold in several states, including California, Arizona, and Texas.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of delicious chicken tender options available. Eat This Not That recommends trying Tyson’s Crispy Chicken Strips, which are made with all-natural ingredients and are free of preservatives. They are also free of artificial flavors, colors, and MSG. These chicken strips are also gluten-free, making them a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
If you’re looking for a healthier option, Eat This Not That suggests trying Applegate Naturals Chicken Tenders. These tenders are made with organic chicken and are free of antibiotics, hormones, and nitrates. They are also free of gluten, dairy, and soy, making them a great option for those with food allergies.
No matter which chicken tender option you choose, make sure to check the label for any potential allergens or contaminants. Eating healthy and safe is always the best option.
If you recently purchased frozen chicken tenders from one of the country’s largest chicken companies at a wholesale grocery store, you’re going to want to check your freezer.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for Perdue’s frozen, gluten-free chicken breast tenders due to the potential presence of clear plastic and blue dye. The tenders, which were sold in BJ’s Wholesale Club locations across the U.S., were packaged in 42-ounce plastic bags displaying a “Best if Used By” date of July 7, 2023, a lot number of 2193 above this date, and the establishment number P-33944 below the date.

The ready-to-eat tenders were produced on July 12, 2022. According to the FSIS, the issue with the product was detected after a consumer reported to BJ’s that their chicken tender had a “small piece of clear plastic and blue dye inside it.” A recall was not issued since the product is no longer being sold.
Although there have been no reports of adverse reactions caused by the frozen item, the FSIS advises anyone who still has the chicken tenders in their freezer to discard them or return them to their place of purchase.

Unfortunately, the frozen chicken tenders aren’t the only products that have been removed from sale recently. Two weeks ago, Kraft Heinz issued a recall of approximately 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend due to the possible contamination of cleaning solution.
