"We determined the source of the material to be blue ink and a small piece of plastic from an ink pen cartridge that was inadvertently introduced into the raw material before the tenders were breaded," said Jeff Shaw, senior vice president of food safety and quality for Perdue, in the company's press release. In a press release, Perdue urged those who bought the products not to consume them. There have been no reports of injury or illness associated with this product," the company added. "The withdrawn product was distributed exclusively through BJ's club stores. Meanwhile, Perdue Foods LLC said on its website that it voluntarily withdrew those chicken tenders "because a foreign material was identified in a minimal amount of consumer packages." These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase," the agency added. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. "FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' freezers. No confirmed reports of "adverse reactions" were made in association with the consumption of these products, but the agency recommends contacting a healthcare provider in case of concerns about illness.
