MorningStar Farms announced a nationwide recall of two varieties of its plant-based products, Buffalo Chik’n Nuggets and Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties, after customers reported finding plastic pieces in the products. The products were sold nationwide in the U.S. and in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica.
When reached for comment by CR, a MorningStar Farms representative said the company has addressed the issue and enhanced quality control procedures to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future.
Check your freezer to see if you have any of the recalled products. If so, throw them away. You can contact the company for a refund between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday by calling 800-962-0120 or by texting 877-453-5837.
