NEW YORK — Some DiGiorno®, Lean Cuisine®, and Stouffer’s® products have been recalled by Nestlé USA because piece of glass may have gotten into the food.  Nestlé officials believe the glass may be in spinach used in these products, however the investigation is ongoing.

“Nestlé USA is taking this action out of an abundance of caution after several consumers reported that they had found small pieces of glass in some of these products,” the company spokesperson said.  “Consumers who may have purchased the products listed above should not consume them but should instead contact Nestlé Consumer Services at 1-800-681-1676.”

While the voluntary recall impacts nearly 3 million boxes of frozen food, according to CBS New York, it covers only specific production codes of the following products:

“To locate the production code, consumers should look on the side panel of the package.

We are recalling these products because they may contain small pieces of glass that may cause injury.”
