Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ajinomoto Foods North America is recalling approximately 36.9 million pounds of various frozen chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shu mai dumpling products. The recall was initiated because the products may contain foreign material, specifically glass fragments. The company discovered the issue after receiving four consumer complaints of glass found in the food. The affected products include various brands sold at Trader Joe's nationwide and exported to Canada.

Risk

The products may contain sharp glass fragments which can cause serious injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract if swallowed. While no injuries have been confirmed to date, consumers should immediately stop using these products to avoid the risk of cuts or choking.
