Another chicken recall. Perdue Foods says there could be pieces of bone in some of its ‘Simply Smart Organics’ breaded chicken breast tenders, nuggets, and strips. The chicken had a use-by date of May 20, 2019, but Perdue says some people could still have the chicken in their freezers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it became aware of the problem after customers complained. If you have any of the recalled chicken, you should throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased.
