WASHINGTON – A Beaumont, Calif., establishment run by CJ Foods Manufacturing Beaumont Corporation, recalled approximately 61,839 lbs of steamed chicken soup dumpling products that may be contaminated with foreign materials, specifically hard plastic from a permanent marker pen, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The problem was discovered after the firm received complaints from consumers reporting they found hard plastic in Trader Joe’s steamed chicken soup dumplings.
The steamed chicken soup dumplings were produced on Dec. 7, 2023. The following products are subject to recall:
- 6-oz boxes with plastic trays containing six pieces of “TRADER JOE’S Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings” with lot codes “03.07.25.C1-1” and “03.07.25.C1-2” printed on the side of the box.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-46009” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to Trader Joe’s retail locations nationwide.
The agency is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
