On February 20, the grocery retailer issued a recall for “Chicken Fried Rice” products, stating they “may be contaminated with foreign material.” And by foreign material, Trader Joe’s means “specifically, glass.”
On March 3, the grocer added “Vegetable Fried Rice,” “Japanese Style Fried,” and “Chicken Shu Mai” to the list of potential hazards.
A press release from Trader Joe’s says, “There have been no confirmed reports of injury related to the recalled product.”
Nevertheless, the company encourages consumers to discard or return any products with the following best-by dates:
- Chicken Fried Rice: 3/4/26 – 2/10/27
