If you’ve got some frozen Asian food in your freezer, you may want to double check it.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a “Class I” recall of Ajinomoto Foods North America products that had been sold across the country under various labels.
In total, an eye-watering 36,987,575 pounds of frozen foods are being recalled.
The USDA noted that “various ready-to-eat (RTE) and NRTE chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shu mai dumpling products” are included in this recall.
Of note, this is an expansion of an already-existing Ajinomoto recall.
The expanded recall now includes products made between Oct. 21, 2024, and Feb. 26, 2026.
The products were sold under brand names Ajinomoto, Kroger, Ling Ling, Tai Pei, and Trader Joe’s.
Given the breadth of those brand names, this recall is particularly concerning. The recalled items were shipped to retailers across the country.

"The issue at hand is a simple — but very dangerous — one. Multiple consumers had complained to the manufacturer that they had found shards of glass in their food.
Upon investigation, it was eventually determined that the carrot source used in the various products was likely what had been contaminated by glass."

Quality control sure ain't what it used to be. Sheesh.

Another reason not to eat processed food
Glass is a forbidden material in a food processing plant. The very few exception items must be on what is called a “glass inventory list” which is verified every shift. (Instrument displays, touchscreens, etc...)The light bulbs in the lighting must be plastic sleeved and sealed. To change a light bulb requires the whole area be shut down, production halted, and have a complete wash, inspection, and allergen swab testing done before its put back into production. You can’t even bring a glass juice bottle in your lunch pail into the building.
Didn’t know that, very interesting.

Yes, its hard to imagine how broken glass would have found its way in.

Thanks for posting this. We have a few Tai Pei items in the freezer, but none is on the recall list.
Sounds to me like China may possibly have a role in this? Then again, it could be someone who altered their TV dinner in order to sue?
That’s incredible. Do you think this was intentional?
About a week ago, I ate some Ajinimoto’s Jose Ole taquitos.
Thank god those items were not on the list.
And for multiple people to have the issue it must have been a very large amount of glass.

I don't happen to know but it sounds as if this outfit is in Japan or perhaps elsewhere in the far east.
C’mon, who doesn’t like a little glass in their fried rice?
👍
Ajinmoto is a Japanese company; Unless they buy carrots from China, I don’t know how China would be involved.
AIB (American Institute of Bakers), is the standard worldwide. There is no excuse to not be a signator to their governance. Very simple, common sense, low cost, non-government biased association. They are wonderful, helpful, non political, decent folks that do a great job.
