Lean Cuisine recalled after glass fragments found

If you eat Lean Cuisine frozen dinners, listen up! Nestlé announced Monday the recall of one of their meals due to a concern over glass being in the food.

The reason for the recall is that the meal may contain fragments of glass. Nestlé is taking this action after three consumers reported they had found small fragments of glass in the ravioli portion of the entrée. No injuries were reported by any of the consumers.

The meals recalled are two production codes of Lean Cuisine Culinary Collection Mushroom Mezzaluna Ravioli, UPC 13800-58358. The production codes are 2311587812 and 2312587812; the “best before date” appears as DEC 2013.

Unfortunately all of the meals may have already been eaten. The entrée being recalled was produced during early November, 2012. Nestlé believes very little remains in store. For this reason, Nestlé is aksing consumers to examine their freezer for packages of Lean Cuisine, Culinary Collection Mushroom Mezzaluna Ravioli, UPC 13800-58358 with production codes 2311587812 and 2312587812 and a “best before date” which appears as DEC 2013.

Consumers who may have purchased the recalled item should not eat it, but should contact Nestlé Consumer Services at (866) 586-9424 or leancuisine@casupport.com for further instructions. Nestlé will provide a replacement coupon to reporting consumers and also may make arrangements to retrieve the product for further examination.
