Johnsonville is recalling 22,672 pounds of cheddar bratwurst product due to possible contamination with hard plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The recall involves 19-ounce sealed firm tray packages containing five pieces of "Johnsonville BRATS CHEDDAR Bratwurst" with the package code B9FOD. The bratwursts were produced on Feb. 5, 2025, and bear the establishment number “Est. 1647” on the front of the label.

The FSIS said the problem was discovered after the Momence, Ill., establishment received two consumer complaints reporting hard plastic material found in the bratwurst product.

The recalled items were shipped to retail locations in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

There have been no confirmed reports of injuries due to consumption of the recalled products. The FSIS urged consumers who have purchased these bratwursts not to eat them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the store where they were purchased.

The FSIS said it is concerned that some of the products may still be in consumers’ freezers.
