Ready-to-eat chicken fried rice sold at Trader Joe’s stores in the United States is being recalled due to possible glass contamination, according to a notice shared on the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service website.
Ajinomoto Foods North America, an Oregon-based food manufacturer, notified the FSIS after receiving customer complaints.
Four customers reported finding glass in the products, although there have been no confirmed reports of injuries, according to the notice shared by FSIS on Feb. 19.
“FSIS is concerned that some products may be in retailer or consumer freezers. Consumers who purchased these products are urged not to consume them,” the notice said. “These products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.”
The FSIS notice, which contains information about another recall, did not specify how many pounds or units of rice were recalled from Trader Joe’s.
USA TODAY reached out to Trader Joe’s on Feb. 20 but did not receive a response.
How do I know if I have the recalled fried rice?
The recalled fried rice comes in a green 20-ounce plastic bag labeled “Trader Joe’s Chicken Fried Rice with stir-fried rice, vegetables, seasoned dark chicken meat and eggs.”
The expiration date on the packaging is September 8, 2026 to November 17, 2026.
