USDA is advising consumers this morning that Nestlé Prepared Foods Company of Mt. Sterling, KY has recalled some 215,660 pounds of "Hot Pockets" frozen pepperoni pizza sandwich products, because they "... may contain foreign materials." The Class I recall was initiated as a result of consumer complaints. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
The following product has been recalled:
54-ounce, 12-pack cartons of "HOT POCKETS PEPPERONI PIZZA" brand stuffed sandwiches. Printed on the side of each carton is "8157544614D," "EST 7721A," and "BEST BEFORE JAN2010."
The recalled food was produced on June 5th and distributed to retail stores nationwide. Neither Nestlé nor USDA have provided a list of retailers that received the recalled items.
The following retailers have issued their own recall notices as a result of the Nestlé recall:
- Giant Food LLC, with stores in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and DC
- Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, with stores in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey
This retail recall list will be updated as additional food chains chime in. For more information on the recall, consumers can contact the Nestlé Consumer Services Center at (800) 350-5016.

What is really going on with food and meat these days? It seems like just yesterday we had the ground beef recall, and now this? How are the foriegn objects getting in there anyways? Don't he have special machines that make them? I'm seriously thinking about becoming a vegaterian with all the crap that is going around and all the un-answered questions.
ReplyDeleteHi CuRiOuS!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. We seem to go through waves of these things. But I do have the feeling that it's getting worse. These companies never seem to learn from their own – or other's – mistakes.
As for becoming a vegetarian, don't forget the elephant-sized outbreak this year was due to tomatoes, jalapeño peppers and/or serrano peppers.
