The product recall applies to 501,816 Mushroom Mezzaluna Ravioli dishes produced in early November and distributed nationwide. The specific ravioli dish has production codes of 2311587812 and 2312587812 and a “best before date” of December 2013, according to the press release.
Customers can find the production code below the ingredient list.
“We apologize to our retail customers and consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this voluntary product recall,” Nestle said in the press release.
Nestle has asked customers with the recalled dishes to not eat them and instead contact Nestle customer service at (866) 586-9424 or leancuisine@casupport.com. Nestle says they will reimburse reporting customers with a replacement coupon.
“This is an unusual complaint for us because we don’t have glass in our factories,” a Nestle spokesperson said. “We have a no-glass policy. We are very committed to food safety.”
In 2011, Nestle recalled their Lean Cuisine spaghetti with meatballs frozen entree due to small pieces of red plastic being found and reported by customers.
