Nationwide Recall of Popular Frozen Meals
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a nationwide recall of certain Lean Cuisine and Stouffer’s frozen meals. This recall is due to the potential presence of foreign material in the products, which poses a safety risk to consumers.
Details of the Recall
On Monday, Nestlé voluntarily initiated the recall of specific batches of three Lean Cuisine products and one Stouffer’s meal. This decision followed customer complaints about “wood-like material” found in the meals, including a report of a choking incident. The affected frozen meals were distributed to major retailers across the United States from September 2024 to March 2025.
Identifying the Recalled Products
Consumers can identify the recalled products by checking the packaging for specific batch information. Nestlé has provided details on how to recognize the affected items to ensure consumer safety.
Potential Risks and Company Response
Foreign materials can enter food products during the production process, posing significant safety risks if consumed. To date, there has been one reported choking incident linked to the recalled meals. Nestlé is actively investigating the source of the wood-like material and assures consumers that this is an isolated issue.
Consumer Guidance and Next Steps
The FDA strongly advises consumers not to prepare or consume the recalled frozen meals. Customers who have purchased these products can return them to the store of purchase for a replacement or a full refund. For additional support, consumers can contact Nestlé directly at (800) 681-1676, available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm EST.
