A FROZEN breakfast item has been removed from shelves after officials discovered it might contain sharp plastic pieces, posing a risk of breaking teeth or causing choking.
Roughly 34,801 cases were sold before the contamination was identified.
Officials fear that embedded plastic pieces as large as 8 mm could be lurking in Lamb Weston’s frozen hashbrowns patties.
Infants, elderly adults, and individuals who have recently had surgery are at significant risk of serious health issues if they accidentally consume the breakfast side.
This frozen breakfast food was manufactured by Lamb Weston Inc., based in Richland, Washington, which is approximately 2 hours from Spokane, and has been distributed throughout the US.
The company voluntarily launched the recall on April 19, 2025, and it remains active, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed.
It’s categorized as a Class II recall, meaning the product may cause temporary or reversible health effects, with a low chance of severe injury.
The company discovered the contamination, but details on how the plastic entered the food have not been made public.
No press release was issued by Lamb Weston about the issue.
The recall includes four separate product lines of Lamb Weston Hashbrown Patties.
One of them, Item M7204, saw 7,929 cases pulled while another one, item M0053 made up the bulk of the recall with 21,004 cases flagged.
Another line, item M7414, accounted for 2,079 recalled cases and item M7422 added 3,789 cases to the recall.
All of the recalled items had use-by dates from August to early next year, so consumers are urged to check their freezers.
Shipments went out to Arizona and Hawaii, as well as internationally to Japan, Kuwait, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates.
No reports of injuries or illnesses have been linked to the product so far.
