Recall of 37 million pounds of chicken fried rice and other frozen chicken meals amended
Ajinomoto Foods North America Inc. of Portland, Oregon, has again amended its Feb. 19, 2026, recall of frozen not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) chicken products that may be contaminated with foreign materials, particularly glass, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The company is recalling 36,987,575 pounds of product. The new amended recall includes products with the previously reported listed lot numbers, regardless of the expiration date.
The recall was initiated after the company received several consumer complaints about glass in the products.
The facility determined that a plant-based ingredient, specifically carrots, was the likely source of the glass contamination, which also impacted additional products subject to this expanded recall.
This recall concerns 16 products manufactured between October 21, 2024 and February 26, 2026, under the Ajinomoto, Kroger, Ling Ling, Tai Pei and Trader Joe’s brands.

There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare professional.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in retailers’ or consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are asked not to consume them.
