When we go to the grocery store to pick up our weekly meals, we tend to trust that the food that we are purchasing is safe to consume. We put a certain level of trust in the many products that are at the grocery store, especially if they are popular national brand names.
So when we read about a recall related to one of these large brands, it can be extremely disheartening. Recently Nestle announced a voluntary recall of some products that most of us have heard of: Stouffer’s, Lean Cuisine and DiGiorno. The company has recalled specific products from each of these brands. Most of the products contain spinach.
The company says that several customers found small pieces of glass in the food, which prompted the recall. The company says they believe the source of the glass is the spinach that is in many of the products. The products are mostly a variety of pizzas, raviolis and lasagnas.
Thankfully no injuries have been reported so far but that doesn’t mean injuries will not be reported in the future. Finding glass in your food is no small matter especially if it is a food that you commonly feed to your children. While this voluntary recall will hopefully keep the product out of the hands of many consumers, it is unclear how many people have already purchased and consumed these products across the country. It will be important to keep an eye on any injuries that result from this product recall and whether any legal action will be taken against the company.
