Over 22,000 pounds of Bratwurst under recall due to plastic contamination risk.
Heads Up: Johnsonville Recalls Cheddar Bratwurst Over Hard Plastic Contamination
Looks like you might wanna check those brats in your fridge or freezer, dude! If you've got some Johnsonville Brats Cheddar Bratwurst, take a peek at the label. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has recalled more than 22,000 pounds of the sausages due to hard plastic contamination.
The recall, which took place on April 5, 2025, affects this specific product. It was sold in 19-ounce sealed firm tray packages containing five brats with package code B9FOD. The recall's limited to the cheddar bratwurst that were produced on February 5, 2025. Don't forget to check for the establishment number "Est. 1647" on the front of the label, as these are the ones that got recalled, buddy. The affected products were shipped to retail locations in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Now, here's the lowdown on what went down that led to the recall. The problem was discovered after the Johnsonville manufacturer received consumer complaints reporting hard plastic material in the bratwurst. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported yet. But if you think you might've suffered an injury after consuming the product, you should definitely consult a healthcare provider, man.
If you've bought the item, don't cook it up and don't eat it. Instead, give it the old heave-ho or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If you gotta a question or two about the recall, give Amanda Fritsch, Consumer Relations Coordinator, a shout at 888-556-2728 or shoot her an email at [email protected].
