Nestle Recalls Lean Pockets over Plastic Pieces

Nestle recalled 350,000 packages of the stuffed chicken pockets, dubbed Lean Pockets, because the frozen food may contain pieces of plastic. The company received several complaints and reports of two mild injuries and decided to pull off 199,417 pounds of frozen stuffed chicken sandwiches made on May 23 at a Kentucky plant.

The voluntary recall involves products which have a “Best Before” date of Nov. 2009 and a package code beginning with “8144544616.” Also, printed on the side of the package is the establishment number “P7721A.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall Monday, the same day the company announced the regulator of customer complaints.

Only the 9-ounce boxes of "Lean Pockets Spinach Artichoke Chicken -- 2 sandwiches" which have all the above-mentioned markings are recalled, and no other Lean Pockets sandwiches are being recalled. Nestle said that any concerned customers can call its consumer services at 1-800-350-5016.

Nestlé was founded in 1860 by Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist who developed for the first time instant infant milk formulas, saving the life of a child who could not tolerate his own mother's milk nor any of the usual substitutes. The company had last year total assets of around $130 billion.
