The recall on Birdseye frozen nuggets

My son is 8, he lives on a very limiter diet since he started feeding himself as a toddler, Pre that I would feed him home made meals healthy meals and he would eat it.

As some of you would know Birdseye whole grain chicken nuggets have had a recall due to the risk of plastic in the nuggets. My son only eats nuggets n sausages for meat, he eats all takeaway and restaurant nuggets like papa johns, TGI etc

So I made my own nuggets in the past few years ago and he refused them, I tried again this weekend tried but instead of using cubes of chicken which I did previously I minced up the chicken breast in the food processor to try and create the nugget texture. Also coated nuggets in breadcrumbs really tried to recreate similar to the shop brought nuggets.

Well he is making gagging noises and refusing to eat it, even hid the nuggets. So fed up nothing I do can make him eat normally. He has not got autism etc or anything on the spectrum but he does have speech and language delays and behind academically.

I tried the home made nuggets and they tasted very similar and similar texture to the Birdseye ones.

I fried the nuggets as well so they could be even tastier and nothing worked. Dunno what to do can anyone help ?

I'd stick to sausages and foods he will eat for now, I'm sure the wholegrain nuggets will be available again soon.

Is it only the wholegrain ones he will eat? As Morrisons own brand are very similar in texture to the Birds Eye ones but they're not wholegrain.
