Over 165,000 pounds of frozen chicken have been recalled over metal contamination concerns.

Perdue Foods is recalling three chicken nugget and tender products sold under the company's name and the Butcher Box brand.

"We determined the material to be a very thin strand of metal wire that was inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing process," Jeff Shaw, Perdue senior vice president of food safety and quality, said in a press release.

The packages were sold nationwide and directly to consumers online, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture recall notice. The wire was discovered by a customer and reported to Perdue.

No illnesses or injuries connected to the recall have been reported according to the USDA.
