The frozen chicken nugget world has seen better days this week. Applegate Natural Brand officially recalled more than 15,000 pounds of their frozen chicken nugget products. The recall was due to numerous customer complaints that the nuggets contained small pieces of plastic inside. Yikes.

Consumers are asked to check boxes that state a sell-by date of Feb. 5, 2015 and the USDA inspection mark number of P2617. As of time of report, there hasn't been any instances of illness or injury due to the plastic. However, folks are advised to return the product to the store of purchase.

Definitely check your nuggets, folks. After all, who would want to pair their frozen nuggets with some julienne plastic? Those two things simply do not compliment one another.
