WASHINGTON — Nestlé Prepared Foods is recalling approximately 92,206 pounds of Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken meals.. The meals may be contaminated with pieces of white hard plastic.
The recalled meals, which were produced on Sept. 2, 2021, contain baked white meat chicken, stuffing, red skin mashed potatoes and gravy. The box bears a lot code of 0246595911 and “Best Before” date of October 2021.
According to the USDA, the problem was discovered on December 18, 2020 after the firm received five consumer complaints involving hard white plastic found in the product. Nestlé Prepared Foods believes the mashed potatoes used in the production of the baked chicken meals products had pieces of a plastic conveyor belt that broke during production.
If you have any of these meals in your freezer, you're urged not to use them. They should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. If you have questions about the recall, you can contact Nestlé Prepared Foods, at (800) 993-8625.
Another recent food recall by Nestle Prepared Foods was for Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pockets. About 762,615 pounds of pepperoni hot pockets were recalled. The USDA warns that the product could contain "extraneous materials," like pieces of hard plastic and glass.
Ready-to-cook butternut squash prepared by Pero Family Farms Food Company was recently recalled due to possible Listeria contamination. The product is packaged in a flexible, clear plastic container with labeling on the top and bottom of the container or in a clear plastic bag. The affected items were distributed from January 2 through January 11, 2021.
