Conagra Brands, Inc., USDA Recall Frozen Meals Over Potential Contamination


— April 14, 2020

About 130,000 frozen meals were recently recalled by the USDA and Conagra Brands, Inc. over concerns they may be contaminated with small rocks.


With many people staying home nowadays, more people are grocery shopping and eating at home. Because of that, it’s important to keep a lookout for recalled products, such as one that was recently recalled by the USDA earlier this month. In total, about 130,000 pounds of frozen chicken bowl meals have been recalled over concerns the products might contain extraneous materials, such as small rocks.
