It reminded me of Trader Joe’s chicken fried rice. Here’s why:

Instant chicken fried rice sold at Trader Joe’s stores across the United States will be recalled due to possible glass contamination, according to a notice shared on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service website.

Ajinomoto Foods North America, an Oregon-based food manufacturer, notified FSIS after receiving complaints from customers.

A notice shared by FSIS on Feb. 19 said four customers reported finding glass in the product, but there were no confirmed reports of injuries.

“FSIS is concerned that some products may be in the freezers of retailers and consumers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them,” the notice reads. “These products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.”

The FSIS notice includes information about another recall, but does not detail how many pounds or units of rice were recalled from Trader Joe’s.

USA TODAY contacted Trader Joe’s on Feb. 20 but did not receive a response.

How do I know if I have fried rice that is subject to a recall?

The recalled fried rice is packaged in a green 20-ounce plastic bag and is labeled “Trader Joe’s Chicken Fried Rice with Fried Rice, Vegetables, Seasoned Dark Chicken Meat, and Eggs.”

The “use by date” listed on the package is from September 8, 2026 to November 17, 2026.

Ajinomoto Foods North America said customers with questions can contact the company at 855-742-5011 or email customercare@ajinomotofoods.com.

Consumers with food safety questions can also call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854 or email their questions to MPHotline@usda.gov.

There is also an electronic consumer complaint monitoring system that customers can use to report problems with meat, poultry, and egg products at www.foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov.
