(PCM) Nestle Foods has issued a voluntary recall on Hot Pockets. The two specific varieties are Hot Pockets brand Philly Steak and Cheese in three different pack sizes and Hot Pockets brand Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese, in the two pack box. The voluntary recall is limited to these two products, which were distributed nationwide. No other batches, sizes, including multi-packs, or varieties of Hot Pockets brand products are affected by this recall.
The reason behind the recall is due to the Rancho meat recall, which, in case your haven’t heard is a recall of 8,742,700 pounds of meat, because it was processed from diseased and unsound animals and carried out without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection.
A diseased animal is pretty self-explanatory, however, what in the heck in an unsound animal? On second thought, I probably don’t really want to find out!
The Rancho meat was used at Nestlé’s Chatsworth, California facility, which makes Hot Pockets exclusively. USDA notes that no illnesses have been reported in relation to the Rancho Feeding Recall at this time. Well, that’s a small relief I suppose!
People who may have purchased the affected batches of Hot Pockets Philly Steak and Cheese should not consume the product, but instead should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Nestlé Consumer Services at (800) 392-4057.
