Canadian frozen food brand McCain has issued a recall for one of its tater tot products due to pieces of plastic, Health Canada said in a notice.

The recalled product, McCain Tasti Taters brand Crispy Potato Bites, were distributed nationally in 800 gram and 1.8-kilogram sizes.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has categorized it as a Class II recall, meaning there is a moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life-threatening health problems.

The CFIA says McCain alerted the government agency of the recall.

It is unclear how many units were sold, or how many people might have been affected by the recall.

Affected lots have the Universal Product Codes (UPC) 0 55773 00079 5 and 0 55773 00306 2.

“Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected products,” the recall states.
