Hot Pockets Recall

[Jazzy]

Nestle USA is recalling 238,000 cases of its Hot Pockets pastries because they may contain meat included in a massive recall of nearly 9 million pounds of “diseased and unsound” beef products.

Three different sizes of Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets and Hot Pockets Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese products in the two-pack box are part of the voluntary recall issued Friday but announced on Tuesday.

Officials with the Nestle Prepared Foods Division said that the firm used meat produced by Rancho Feeding Corp. in 2013. Last week, the Petaluma, Calif., plant recalled 8.7 million pounds of beef parts, including whole carcasses and heads, feet, livers and so-called “mountain oysters,” among other items.

The recall is limited to those two products, which were distributed nationwide. USDA has said that no illnesses have been reported in connection with the Rancho Feeding Corp. recall.

Consumers can return the products or contact Nestle at 800-392-4057.

Anyone eat these?

Except for one occasion in almost 2 weeks I think. I haven't really touched them. Before that I was all about them. Until I saw a video about a family finding mold in theirs.

Never tried a Hot Pocket and don't ever intend to either.

Well, it sort of contains real food, ... .... and a chemistry book.
