Nestle USA Inc. is recalling approximately 267,024 pounds of DiGiorno, Lean Cuisine and Stouffer’s products due to the potential presence of glass pieces.
The products affected were produced at its Little Chute, Wisconsin plant and chicken lasagna products, produced at its Springville, Utah plant that may be contaminated with extraneous materials — namely pieces of glass. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued an announcement yesterday morning.
According to USDA the chicken lasagna items were produced on Dec. 21, 2015 and the chicken pizza items were produced on Jan. 17/18, 2015.
This voluntary recall covers DiGiorno Thin & Crispy Spinach and Garlic Pizza; DiGiorno Rising Crust Spinach and Mushroom Pizza; DiGiorno pizzeria Thin Crust Spinach and Mushroom Pizza; DiGiorno pizzeria Tuscan-style Chicken Pizza; Lean Cuisine Spinach and Mushroom Pizza; Lean Cuisine Spinach Artichoke Ravioli; Lean Cuisine Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli; Lean Cuisine Spinach, Artichoke & Chicken Panini; Lean Cuisine Mushroom Mezzaluna Ravioli; Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna (10 oz., 37 oz. and 96 oz. sizes); Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé and Stouffer’s Chicken Lasagna.
The USDA notes that for the production code, consumers should look on the side panel of the package.
The chicken pizza products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-5754” and the chicken lasagna products subject to recall bear establishment number “P9018” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered after the firm received multiple consumer complaints regarding small pieces of glass in the food. According to USDA there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of the products subject to recall. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness associated with the products subject to recall should contact a healthcare provider. “Consumers who may have purchased the recalled products are urged not to consume them but instead contact Nestle Consumer Services at 1-800-681-1676.
Nestle USA Inc, says, “Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe the source of the glass is spinach that was an ingredient common to the products subject to this recall.”
