McDonald’s discontinued chicken tenders due to health concerns. In March 2018, the fast-food chain announced that it would be removing chicken tenders from its menus worldwide because of concerns over the food’s safety. The chicken tenders have been linked to illnesses, including salmonella and E.
coli, which have caused major outbreaks in the past. In a statement, McDonald’s said that it had “identified a new supplier for chicken tenders” and that the chicken “will be prepared in a way that is consistent with our food quality standards.”.
