No one really thinks to do this in the hustle and bustle of daily life but it is perhaps in the best interest of any shopper to check the official website of the supermarket they are going to before leaving to get groceries as recalls for more and more products seem to be getting issued.
Walmart, the largest supermarket retailer globally has just added three more items to its list of products that have been recalled and consumers should keep an eye out for them.
New items added to list of recalls at Walmart
Nestlé Lean Cuisine and STOUFFER’S Frozen Meals
Last Monday, on March 17, Nestlé USA issued a voluntary recall notice for a limited quantity of its Lean Cuisine and Stouffer’s frozen meals after a foreign material was discovered to have contaminated a specific batch of the product.
A foreign “wood-like material” appears to have found its way into the product and as such the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall for four types of frozen meals sold under the Lean Cuisine or Stouffer’s labels.
The four recalled frozen meals are the Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli, Lean Cuisine Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, Lean Cuisine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry and Stouffer’s Party Size Chicken Lasagna. The contaminated meals were distributed to various major retailers from September 2024 to March 2025. According to Walmart’s website, the recalled meals were sold in all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia.
The manufacturer was alerted of the contamination after a consumer called in a complaint after finding the wood-like material in their meal. One choking incident has been linked to this recall as well.
Consumers should not hesitate to discard the recalled product or return to its place of purchase in exchange for a refund. Alternatively, they may contact Nestlé USA directly at (800) 681-1676.
Bridgestone R123 Tires
As a result of a faulty belt operation, the R123 Ecopia tires, size 295/75R22.5 were recalled by Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations on March 17, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website.
According to the recall notice, the R123 Ecopia tires are made for use on commercial trailer vehicles, however, due to the faulty belt operation, there is a potential for tire failure which could then pose an increased crash risk.
