Trader Joe’s Chicken Soup Dumplings Recall
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service recently announced a recall of 61,000 pounds of Trader Joe’s Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings, which were sold in nearly two dozen stores across New York State.
The savory dumplings, loaded with broth made from chicken, onion, green onion, soy sauce, and ginger that can conveniently be heated up in the microwave, are a fan-favorite for diehard fans of TJ’s.
Why Is Trader Joe’s Recalling Their Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings?
If you have these in your freezer, you definitely don’t want to risk eating them!
The FSIS warns that the dumplings could possibly be contaminated with foreign materials - “specifically hard plastic from a permanent marker pen.”
The tainted dumplings were discovered when several consumers complained to the manufacturer, CJ Foods Manufacturing Beaumont Corp., about finding hard plastic in their dumplings.
Gross!
“FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them,” it said in a news release. “These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
