Target Recalls Morningstar Meat Free Corn Dogs in Hawaii

Target is recalling 2,652 units of Morningstar Meat Free Corn Dogs in Hawaii due to improper temperature control during shipping, which may have allowed contamination.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is described as a potential for contamination due to temperature abuse rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen outbreak.

Plain-English summary

Target Corporation is recalling 2,652 retail units of Morningstar Meat Free Corn Dogs (UPC: 28989975003, Target item number: 270-3-159). The recall is limited to products purchased at Target store T2780 in Honolulu, Hawaii, between March 23 and March 27, 2018.

The recall was initiated because the shipping container transporting the product from California to Hawaii was not held at the proper temperature. This temperature failure could have allowed the food items to become contaminated with spoilage organisms or pathogens.

Consumers who purchased these specific items at the identified store during the stated dates should stop using the product and return it to the store for a refund.
