Impossible Foods expands chicken nugget recall

Impossible Foods is expanding the recall of their chicken nugget products produced by a co-manufacturer due to the presence of foreign material, specifically small wood pieces, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent March 20. While only one chicken nugget SKU presented issues and was included in the previous DeCA internal recall, the company, out of an abundance of caution, decided to include all of the products produced on that production line during the affected timeframe in the ALFOODACT.

There is a potential risk of choking or physical injury to the soft tissues of the mouth or gastrointestinal tract of a consumer using the product who may not see the foreign material.

The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, chief, public health division, DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.

The following items, produced between Oct. 20 and Nov. 23, 2022, are affected by this recall expansion:

Impossible Chicken Nuggets, 2 pounds: Lot Codes OFA22299xx, OFA22300xx, OFA22315xx, and OFA22321xx where xx indicates the sublot codes from 00 – 24:
