Trader Joe’s Chicken Fried Rice Recall Due to Glass Contamination Concerns

In a significant health alert, over 3.3 million pounds of frozen chicken fried rice are being recalled due to potential glass contamination. This warning comes from federal officials who have raised concerns about the safety of these products.

Ajinomoto Foods North America is at the center of this recall, which involves approximately 3,370,530 pounds of frozen, not-ready-to-eat chicken fried rice products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) made the announcement on Friday, highlighting the serious nature of the contamination risk.

The recall specifically affects products available at Trader Joe’s locations across the country. However, it is important to note that the Ajinomoto items were exclusively shipped to Canada.

Additionally, the Ajinomoto product is packaged in a carton that contains six bags of “Yakitori Chicken with Japanese-Style Fried Rice.”

Officials are urging consumers to check their freezers for the affected products and either dispose of them or return them to the store for a refund.
