Do you have any picky eaters in your house? It’s not uncommon for young children to resist certain foods, especially veggies. Did you know that the majority of kids ages 1 to 18 do not meet the daily recommended intake for vegetables? PERDUE® is working to change that with its new line of veggie-packed chicken nuggets and patties, CHICKEN PLUS™. These chicken and plant-based nuggets, tenders, and patties pack 10 grams of protein and 1/4 cup of cauliflower and chickpeas into every serving!

PERDUE® is hosting its first-ever America’s Pickiest Eater Contest, where you could win a year’s supply of CHICKEN PLUS™ products, 2,000 pounds of product to donate to the school of their choice…and the title of America’s Pickiest Eater! From now until March 1, 2020, submit your funniest, most outrageous photo or video of your child’s picky eater moments for a chance to win. Submissions will be judged based on quality, creativity, and originality.
