The products were distributed to retail stores across the country. Other Ajinomoto-branded items were also shipped to Canada and Mexico, according to FSIS.
The recall began after the company received several consumer complaints reporting pieces of glass in the food.
“After further investigation, the establishment determined that a vegetable source ingredient, specifically carrots, was the cause of the glass contamination, which also affected additional products under this extended recall,” FSIS said.
There have been no confirmed reports of injuries related to the recalled products, an Ajinomoto Foods spokesperson told FOX Business.

Consumers who purchased the affected items are advised not to eat them and should discard the items or return them to the store for a refund.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we have added to our voluntary recall certain frozen products that may contain glass,” a spokesperson said. “We are committed to maintaining the highest safety standards, and we continue to work closely with the USDA.”
