Summary

McCain Foods USA, Inc. is recalling approximately 25,215 pounds of McCain EARLY RISERS Potato, Egg, Cheese & Bacon Fritters sold in 3.75-lb. vacuum-packed packages. These products, produced on November 11, 2015, were shipped to food service distributors in 12 states including Illinois, Texas, and Florida. The recall was initiated because the fritters may be contaminated with pieces of plastic materials, and consumers are advised to throw the product away or return it for a refund.

Risk
