A massive California meat recall is affecting the popular microwave snack
Nestlé is recalling certain varieties of Hot Pockets after learning theyve potentially been stuffed with diseased and unsound animals.
The company is voluntarily pulling the product from the shelves as part of a massive USDA recall of 8.7 million pounds of meat processed by Rancho Feeding Corp. The meat in question, per the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service, is unsound, unwholesome or otherwise are unfit for human food and must be removed from commerce. According to Nestlé, a small quantity of that meat may have made its way into the Hot Pockets produced at its California facility.
The affected products 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 (more details on the specific batch numbers here). Other flavors Ham & Cheese, Meatballs & Mozzarella, Bacon Cheddar Cheese Melt, etc. are safe.

If we stop giving them money, we win. If we continue to finance their plans, we lose. It is just that simple.

(13,877 posts)Makes the grocery store a pretty quick trip. (OK, tea and coffee, too, on occasion) Takes more time at home, a planning system, lots of smoothies and soups, but worth it. To me, freezer food is my own extra home-cooked portions...fast food.
Paper goods and cleaning supplies...Dollar Store, hands down.
