Pieces of blue plastic material found in three varieties of LEAN CUISINE frozen dinners has led to Nestle Prepared Foods Co. recalling an equivalent of 900,000 pounds worth of the impacted products which had been distributed across the nation.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has said that there has been at least 1 report of an injury. While the extent of the injury is not known, a spokeswoman for Nestle is said to have remarked that there were no reported injuries requiring medical attention. This would seem to suggest that the reported injury was not serious in nature.
The blue plastic responsible for the recall has reportedly been found in the following Lean Cuisine dinners:
- Cafe Classics Pesto Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta
- Spa Cuisine Chicken Mediterranean
- Dinnertime Selects Chicken Tuscan
The recall has been ranked a Class I which indicates a “health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
