Imagine you haven’t eaten all day and you are starving and want to make something quick to eat. You pop in your favorite frozen dinner and after you take a bite you notice you just bit into something rubbery!!! Yuck!
About a couple months ago that is exactly what happened to me! I was eating my favorite Lean Cuisine dinner “Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni” when I bit into a mysterious blue piece of plastic that almost choked me. I spit it out and was disgusted by the mysterious contaminant and threw up. It was a horrible experience that has changed my mind about eating frozen dinners. You just never know what’s inside a frozen dinner despite reassurances from companies saying they are safe to eat!
I am so excited to read today that ABC Health just did a story exposing the Nestle Corporation’s Lean Cuisine brand of contaminated frozen food. 900,000 pounds of Lean Cuisine dinners will be recalled.
Lauren Cox from ABC News Medical Unit writes: The USDA considered the blue plastic a potential health threat and has ranked the recall as Class I — a “health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” “It could cause injury — a piece of plastic could cut your mouth, it could scratch your throat,” said Amanda Eamich, spokesperson for the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Consumers can call 800-227-6188 to check the production codes on the side of Lean Cuisine packages. The following products are subject to recall: 9.5-ounce packages of Cafe Classics Pesto Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta brand frozen meals. Printed on the side of each package is a production code of 8280595912 as well as a use-by date of “Best Before May 2010.” They also need to recall the “Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni” bowl.
If you eat any frozen dinners please look at what you eat before you put it in your mouth. You might be biting into something that could hurt you.
