MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Impossible Foods Recalls Impossible Chicken

1. REFERENCE: DHA-MSR 6025.01/AR 40-660/ DLAR 6025.01/NAVSUPINST 

10110.8D/AFI 48-161_IP/MCO 10110.38D, DOD Hazardous Food & Nonprescription Drug 

Recall System, 6 September 2018. 

2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: We recently received reports that small pieces of wood 

were found in some of our 13.5 oz retail packages of frozen Impossible Chicken Nuggets 

produced by one of our co-manufacturers, OSI Industries, LLC between October 20 and 

November 23, 2022. While this issue has affected less than 0.000005% of total packages of this 

particular product, this is simply unacceptable given that consumers and customers place their 

trust in us with every purchase of Impossible Foods they make. 

Once we identified the issue, we immediately contacted the U.S Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) to alert them and indicate that we would be issuing a voluntary recall. Even though only 

one chicken nuggets SKU presented issues, we made the decision to recall all of the products 

produced on that production line between October 20 and November 23, 2022 out of an 

abundance of caution. 

Please immediately isolate and dispose of any product you have on hand that is affected by this 

recall and complete the enclosed response form. If you have further distributed this product, 

please identify your customers and notify them at once of this product recall. This recall should 

be carried out to the retail level. Our team will be following up directly this week to address any 

questions or concerns you may have. In the meantime, you can immediately start ordering fresh 

product. 

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 

3. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: We are deeply committed to delivering a great experience with 

our products. Out of an abundance of caution, we recently issued a voluntary recall that covers 

some varieties of Impossible Chicken Nuggets Made From Plants produced by food 

manufacturer OSI Industries, LLC from October 20 to November 23, 2022:
