What to Do If You Bought MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik’n Nuggets or Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties
If you have MorningStar Farms frozen vegetarian foods in your freezer, check them now. MorningStar Farms has voluntarily recalled two products because of possible plastic pieces in the food: MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik’n Nuggets and MorningStar Farms Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties.
This is a freezer check worth doing before family meals, especially if you plan to serve these items to children, older adults, or anyone who may be more likely to be bothered by a hard foreign material in food.
What products are affected
According to the FDA recall notice, the recall covers two frozen vegetarian products. Shoppers should compare the package label carefully, including the UPC and best-if-used-before date, before cooking or serving.
- MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik’n Nuggets
- MorningStar Farms Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties
The official notice lists the specific package identifiers, including the UPCs and best-if-used-before dates, that help shoppers tell whether a package is included. If your package matches those identifiers, treat it as recalled.
What is the safety issue
The products were recalled because they may contain plastic pieces. Do not eat or serve any package that matches the recall details.
What shoppers should do next
If you find the recalled product in your freezer:
- Do not eat it.
- Do not serve it to family or guests.
- Discard it or return it to the place of purchase as instructed in the recall notice.
If you already cooked a package and are unsure whether it matches the recall, stop and check the label before serving any leftovers. When in doubt, throw it out or return it.
Quick freezer check
Recalls like this are a good reminder to scan frozen foods before a weeknight dinner or a fast family lunch. A few seconds spent checking the brand, product name, UPC, and best-if-used-before date can prevent a recalled item from reaching the table.
If you bought MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik’n Nuggets or Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties, compare the package to the FDA recall details now and keep the recalled products out of your kitchen.
