Recalled products may bear establishment numbers P-18356, P-18356B, or P-47971 inside the USDA mark of inspection. Items were shipped to retail locations nationwide, and certain Ajinomoto items were exported to Canada and Mexico.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall March 3rd after receiving multiple customer complaints involving glass found in food. The establishment determined the carrots were a likely source of the contamination, impacting additional products subject to this expanded recall.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury at this time.
