Ajinomoto Foods North America Inc. of Portland, OR, is recalling 3,370,530 pounds of frozen not ready-to-eat chicken fried rice after consumer compliments of glass in the products the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The chicken fried rice items were produced between Sept. 8, 2025, and Nov. 17, 2025. There is concern that consumers may still have the product in their homes because of its long shelf life. The following products are subject to recall:
- 1.53-kilogram cardboard packages containing 6 bags of frozen “AJINOMOTO YAKITORI CHICKEN WITH JAPANESE-STYLE FRIED RICE” with BEST BEFORE/MEILLEUR AVANT dates 26 SE 09 through 26 NO 12.
- 20-ounce plastic bags containing frozen “TRADER JOE’S Chicken Fried Rice with stir fried rice, vegetables, seasoned dark chicken meat and eggs” with BEST BY dates 9/8/2026 through 11/17/2026.
The products subject to recall have the establishment number P-18356 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The Trader Joe’s item was shipped to Trader Joe’s retail locations nationwide. The Ajinomoto item was exported only to Canada.
The problem was discovered after the establishment notified FSIS that it received four consumer complaints regarding glass found in product. There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
