MorningStar Farms, the popular plant-based food brand owned by Mars Inc., has recalled two of its frozen products sold across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica after customers reported finding plastic pieces in their food. The recall covers specific lots of Buffalo Chik'n Nuggets and Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties, and consumers who purchased the affected packages are advised to discard them immediately and contact the company for a full refund.
The urgency of this recall is heightened by a critical detail: the affected products carry "Better If Used Before" dates in July 2027. That means recalled items could remain in home freezers for months before a consumer would think to check them, unless they are actively looking.
