DiGiorno Pizzas, Stouffer’s Lasagnas And Lean Cuisine Meals Recalled For Possible Glass In Food

Nearly three million boxes of frozen DiGiorno pizzas, Stouffer’s lasagnas and Lean Cuisine meals are being recalled after customers said they found pieces of glass in their food.

Nestle USA, the company behind the brands, said the glass may have come from spinach that is a common ingredient in all three brands.

The food maker said no injuries have been reported and they are voluntarily recalling the products out of an abundance of caution.

“The quality and safety of our products are the top priority for our company,” Nestle said in a statement. “We apologize to our retail customers and consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this recall.”

The recall covers about 2.98 million individual boxes, including four varieties of DiGiorno pizzas, five types of Lean Cuisine meals, four Stouffer’s lasagnas and one Stouffer’s spinach souffle.

The recall covers:

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

Thanks for the information. I hadn't heard about this. I'll check my freezer. It looks like the common denominator is spinach.

Massive Meat and Chicken Listeria Recall Includes Trader Joe's, Costco and Others

Listeria recall expanded to 47 million pounds of meat and poultry sold over past 2 years in Maryland and nationwide.

Approximately 47,112,256 pounds of not-ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes have been recalled from Costco, Trader Joe's and other stores, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced.

This action is being taken in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because the recalled products contain vegetables that are part of the recent CRF Frozen Foods recall.

I'm really surprised Schwan's is still delivering the recalled food items! Not good.

I just received an email from Whole Foods the other day. It was a huge list of food items going back into last year! Wha???

Couldn't they get the list out to customers in a more timely basis? I guess not.

@Lucky Charm

they are not still delivering the recalled items.

i have had the vegetables in my freezer for maybe a month or more.

they will only start delivering the items again when it is safe to do so and when they have new inventory.

schwans is very proactive when it comes to these recalls. they have a record of what you bought and they usually send an email and give you a phone call. you give them back to your driver and they give you full credit, even on items where you may have used part of the bag.
