Impossible Chicken Nuggets recall overview:

Impossible Foods Inc. has issued a recall of certain Impossible Chicken Nuggets because the nuggets may contain small pieces of wood. 

The recall was published to the company’s website March 17. It applies to more than 250,000 cases of Impossible Chicken Nuggets produced by one of the company’s co-manufacturers, OSI Industries LLC, between Oct. 20 and Nov. 23, 2022. 

The company received reports that small pieces of wood were found in some of their 13.5-ounce retail packages of frozen Impossible Chicken Nuggets, it said.

“While this issue has affected less than 0.000005 percent of total packages of this particular product, this is simply unacceptable given that consumers and customers place their trust in us with every purchase of Impossible Foods they make,” it said.

Impossible Foods is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Nuggets were distributed nationwide

As of March 24, the company says its retailers have confirmed the 22 recalled lots of frozen Impossible nuggets have been fully removed from store shelves, and all product available for purchase was manufactured after the recall dates.

The recalled products were distributed nationwide.

Even though only one SKU presented issues, Impossible made the decision to recall all the products produced on that production line between Oct. 20 and Nov. 23, 2022, it said.

“OSI has eliminated the use of wood that was determined to be the source of this issue. In addition, we have a product distribution team meeting daily to restock our customers’ shelves as soon as possible.”

Consumers who may have purchased a product covered by the recall should immediately dispose of it and should not consume it, Impossible said.

In 2021, the Center for Food Safety, a federal agency in charge of food safety, claimed the Impossible Burger was approved for sale too fast with a key ingredient that hasn’t faced enough scrutiny to prove it’s OK to eat.
