The recall affects a wide range of pre-packaged frozen entrées and meals produced by a major food manufacturer.

What Triggered the Recall?

The recall was initially issued after consumer complaints flagged potential glass contamination during production.

Investigations pointed to a possible equipment malfunction at the manufacturing facility.

Out of an abundance of caution, regulators dramatically widened the scope of the affected products.

Ajinomoto is expanding its recall to include 15 more products sold under the Ajinomoto, Kroger, Ling Ling, Tai Pei, and Trader Joe's brands. These items were available at major retailers like Costco, Walmart, Kroger, and Sam's Club, and some were also sold in Canada and Mexico.

• Ajinomoto De Style Tokyo Ramen (Soy Sauce) with Chicken
