Why this matters in The Nashville
Nashville consumers who shop at local grocery stores should be aware of the recall, as the affected MorningStar Farms products were sold in the U.S. and may have been stocked on shelves in the city. The recall of Buffalo Chikn’n Nuggets and Hot and Spicy Sausage Patties due to possible plastic contamination is a concern for residents who prioritize vegetarian and plant-based diets, a demographic that is growing in Nashville. Local health food stores and co-ops may be particularly affected, as they often carry a wide selection of MorningStar Farms products. Residents who have purchased the recalled items can discard them and contact the company for a refund, but it is also important for local retailers to take steps to remove the affected products from their inventory and notify customers who may have purchased them.
