It is declared as a Class II, which means that eating the affected items can result in \u201ctemporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,\u201d according to the FDA. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese recalls are used in situations where the likelihood of adverse health consequences is low,\u201d the company said in a statement. \u201cThis recall has been reported to the Food & Drug Administration. This incident is isolated to a single production run, and no illnesses have been reported from consumption of the affected product.\u201d<\/p>\n
The news comes amid concerns about other products being contaminated with foreign material. In February, Ajinomoto Foods North America, Inc. expanded its recall of frozen not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) chicken products over potential foreign material contamination, specifically glass, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Food Safety and Inspection Service. <\/p>\n
Approximately 33,617,045 additional pounds of various ready-to-eat (RTE) and NRTE chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shu mai dumpling products have been recalled.<\/p>\n

The recall came after the FSIS received multiple consumer complaints involving glass, according to the company\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
Last year, more than 20,000 cases of single-serve peanut butter and peanut butter-and-jelly combination snacks produced by Ventura Foods LLC were recalled after pieces of blue plastic were found during production. <\/p>\n
Also in February, Rosina Food Products, Inc. recalled approximately 9,462 pounds of frozen meatball products because they may be contaminated with metal. The USDA classified the recall as Class I \u2014 its highest risk level \u2014 meaning there is a reasonable probability that consuming the products could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
