Nestlé USA has issued a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of its Lean Cuisine and Stouffer's frozen meals after some consumers complained about finding a "wood-like material" in the products, according to a March 17 recall notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The company said it is "actively investigating" the material's source. "We are confident that this is an isolated issue, and we have taken action to address it," it said in the recall notice.
Here's what to know:
Several Lean Cuisine and Stouffer's products were named in the March 17 recall. Products were distributed to major retailers throughout the U.S. between September 2024 and March 2025.
Affected products were sold in Wisconsin, a Nestlé spokesperson confirmed to the Journal Sentinel in an email.
No other products from either brand are involved with the recall, per the notice.
