FDA Issues Major Recall of Oyster Crackers Nationwide Due to Foreign Material

Nestlé USA has issued a recall for several frozen meals, specifically three Lean Cuisine varieties and one Stouffer's product, due to the presence of 'wood-like' foreign materials that pose a choking hazard. The recall affects products distributed between September 2024 and March 2025, with Nestlé advising consumers to return the items for a refund. This action comes after a report of a potential choking incident, although the company emphasizes that it believes this is an isolated issue. Additionally, the FDA has upgraded a separate recall concerning oyster crackers sold under various brands due to possible contamination with stainless steel wire, affecting over 15,000 cases across multiple states. Consumers are urged to check their packages and return any affected products for a refund. Both companies are cooperating with federal authorities to ensure consumer safety.
