You grab a bag of frozen chicken nuggets, thinking it’s a quick meal. But what if there’s something inside that shouldn’t be there?
That’s exactly what happened with Pams Tempura-Coated Chicken Nuggets in New Zealand. A recall has been issued because of possible blue rubber contamination. It’s not just a minor quality issue—eating food with unexpected foreign objects can be a real hazard.
If you have a bag at home, check your freezer now.

What You Should Do
First things first—check your freezer. If you’ve got a bag of Pams Tempura-Coated Chicken Nuggets, take a look at the batch details. If it matches the recall notice, don’t eat them. Stores are accepting returns, so bringing them back for a refund is the safest option.
