Nestlè finds two HOT POCKETS brands affected by beef recall
FORT LEE, Va. – Nestle USA has identified two products affected by the Westland/Hallmark Meat packing recall and has initiated a product withdrawal of its HOT POCKETS® brand Philly Steak and Cheese and HOT POCKETS® brand Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese.
As a result, the Defense Commissary Agency has removed the following product from its shelves:
-
HOT POCKETS Philly Steak & Cheese, 8x9 ounce, UPC: 4369507107. This product is not sold in commissaries in Europe or the Far East.
-
HOT POCKETS Croissant Crust Philly Steak & Cheese, 8x9 ounce, UPC: 4369505634. This product is available in commissaries stateside and overseas.
No illnesses from the meat have been reported, and the USDA notes there is low potential for health risks. Consumers who have either of these products should immediately stop eating them.
Nestlè USA was alerted by a supplier that beef affected by the Westland/Hallmark Meat packing recall was used in an ingredient shipped to the manufacturer. Nestle has isolated use of this ingredient to these two products.
Commissary customers can return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Customers can also get more information on this and other recalls by going to the
