Nestle Prepared Foods is pulling one version of its "Lean Pockets" off grocery store shelves because they may contain pieces of plastic. The recall is on 9 ounce boxes of frozen "lean pockets spinach artichoke chicken -- two sandwiches." The side of the box says "Best Before Nov. 2009" and a package code reading 8144 544616.

Also printed on the side of the box is the establishment number P7721A. The products were produced May 23rd and local TOPS stores have already stopped selling the item.

TOPS is urging costumers who purchased the Lean Pockets to return the item for a full refund.

To contact Nestle, call the their Company Consumer Services number at (818) 549-7063. Or, to call their toll-free number, dial (800) 350-5016.

Thanks Robyn,

I have never had one of the things in my life, and now I'm glad I have NOT.

Wonder if FDA made them disclose, or what?

Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for the information.

It is getting scary to buy prepared food.
Well, the positive way of looking at it is t hat people with holes in their stomach and blood poisoning and whatnot often lose weight. Isn't that the goal of eating lean pockets?

On a more serious note, you should check out my article on the sub I bought today. Restaurant food is getting just as bad.
The plastic is the least of their worries if they eat this junk regularly.
Trying to help out with page views. Hope your weekend is going well.
