WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Wegmans Supermarkets are voluntarily recalling Wegmans Pumpkin Rolls that were sold in the bakery between Sept. 1 and Oct. 30 because the food could contain pieces of plastic, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

A freeze watch is in effect from late tonight into early Monday morning as temperatures are expected to be in the low 30s, according to the National Weather Service.
