>>Trader Joe's Food Added To Nationwide Mass Recall
(Undated) -- Over three million pounds of Trader Joe's food is being added to a nationwide mass recall. Ajinomoto Foods North America initiated a recall on Trader Joe's Japanese Style Fried Rice with Edamame, Tofu, and Hijiki Seaweed in early March and it was designated as a Class 2 by the FDA last week. The updated classification means exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. According to an enforcement report posted to the FDA's website, the recall was issued due to the presence of glass.
