MARS SNACKING — Class II: MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik'n Nuggets, 100% Plant Protein Vegan Nuggets, Net Wt. 10.5 o
MARS SNACKING has initiated an ongoing Class II recall for MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik'n Nuggets (10.5 oz bags) due to potential contamination with plastic material. The affected product is a vegan plant protein nugget packaged in resealable bags with UPC 028989101105.
This recall affects MARS SNACKING, distributors of MorningStar Farms plant-based products, and quality/compliance personnel responsible for foreign object prevention in frozen food manufacturing.
A Class II designation suggests that while the health hazard is not immediate or severe, the presence of plastic material represents a failure in physical hazard controls. This likely indicates a need to investigate equipment integrity or packaging line failures to prevent recurrence. The ongoing status suggests that reconciliation of distributed units is still in progress.
QA and production teams should review foreign material detection protocols, specifically for plastic contaminants that may bypass metal detection. Supply chain and distribution functions must verify inventory against the specified UPC and facilitate the removal of affected lots as the recall remains ongoing.
Class II. Reason: Potential contamination with plastic material. Product: MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik'n Nuggets, 100% Plant Protein Vegan Nuggets, Net Wt. 10.5 oz. (298g), packaged in a resealable plastic bag with UPC 028989101105, packed 6 bags per case. Firm: MARS SNACKING (Chicago IL United States). Status: Ongoing.
