Trader Joe's Products Recalled Over Glass

A frozen food manufacturer is recalling over three million pounds of chicken fried rice products. The recalled products were shipped to Trader Joe's across New York State and the United States.

The recall involves Ajinomoto yakitori chicken with Japanese-style fried rice and Trader Joe's Chicken Fried Rice with stir-fried rice, vegetables, seasoned dark chicken meat, and eggs.

The recall was initiated due to the product possibly containing glass. Four customers complained of finding glass.

The foods were produced by Ajinomoto Foods North America between September 8, 2025, and November 17, 2025.
