DiGiorno, Lean Cuisine, Stouffer’s Recall Over Glass Particles in Food

By Brandon Turbeville

DiGiorno pizzas, Stouffer’s and Lean Cuisine are all making the rounds in the news headlines as of late. But it is not because of a new product line or new marketing strategy – it is because of a massive recall due to the presence of glass in the finished products.

According to the AP, close to the 3 million boxes of Lean Cuisine, Stouffer’s and DiGiorno are currently being recalled after customers reported finding pieces of glass in the food. Nestlé USA, the food maker of all the brands has stated that the glass may have come from the spinach used in all three products.

The voluntary recall applies only to specific production codes of these products:

• DiGiorno Thin & Crispy Spinach and Garlic Pizza
• DiGiorno Rising Crust Spinach and Mushroom Pizza
• DiGiorno pizzeria Thin Crust Spinach and Mushroom Pizza
• DiGiorno pizzeria Tuscan-style Chicken Pizza
• Lean Cuisine Spinach and Mushroom Pizza
• Lean Cuisine Spinach Artichoke Ravioli
• Lean Cuisine Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli
• Lean Cuisine Spinach, Artichoke & Chicken Panini
• Lean Cuisine Mushroom Mezzaluna Ravioli
• Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna (10 oz., 37 oz. and 96 oz. sizes)
• Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé
• Stouffer’s Chicken Lasagna

In order to find the specific production code, go to this link on the Nestlé USA website.

At this time Nestle is reporting that no injuries have occurred due to the glass particles.

In a press release, Nestlé stated:

The quality and safety of our products are the top priority for our company. We apologize to our retail customers and consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this recall. We are working with both the U. S. Food & Drug Administration and the U. S. Department of Agriculture on this voluntary recall and will cooperate with them fully.

Anyone who might have purchased the products listed in Nestle’s press release should obviously not consume the product but contact Nestlé Consumer Services at 1-800-681-1676.
