In a wide-ranging FDA recall that began on March 3, Trader Joe's announced that one-pound bags of its branded vegetable fried rice were among several products that could contain fragments of glass.

The product was sold through Ajinomoto Foods North America. According to the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, Ajinomoto Foods "determined that a vegetable source ingredient, specifically carrots, was the likely source of the glass contamination, which also impacted the additional products subject to this expanded recall."
A full list of products subject to this recall is available on the FDA's website.
