WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2006 - Nestlé Prepared Foods company, a Gaffney, S.C., firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 54,690 pounds of frozen LEAN CUISINE® ASIAN-STYLE POT STICKERS due to the possible presence of pieces of plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The following product is subject to recall:
  • Nine-ounce packages of Stouffer's "LEAN CUISINE® ASIAN-STYLE POT STICKERS," chicken and vegetable dumplings with rice in an Asian-Style dipping sauce. Each package contains the package code, "5262595512," the words "Best before Oct. 2006" and the establishment number, "P-7991," printed on the right side flap.

The recall was prompted by consumers reporting small pieces of plastic in the meals. FSIS has received no reports of injury from consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a physician.

The pot stickers were produced on Sept. 19, 2005, and were distributed to retail stores nationwide.

Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Nestlé Consumer Services at (800) 993-8625. Media with questions about the recall should contact Roz O'Hearn, manager of Marketing Communications at (440) 264-5170.

Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at (888) 674-6854. The hotline is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
