Previous Food Recalls By Nestlé
This is not the first time Nestlé had to issue a recall for their products for this year.
Last February, the company recalled various Ski yogurts' packs over concerns that they may contain bits of rubber. Customers who bought affected batches are being urged not to consume it at all cost.
After Nestle's fruit supplier alerted manufacturers, the warning was issued that the food may contain small pieces of black rubber in it. The affected batches weighed 480g and were made up of four 120g individual pots.
Customers were advised to send the outer cardboard sleeve or a pot lid printed with any of the use-by dates on them to the manufacturers to receive a full refund.
In May 2020, a recall for Lean Cuisine Fettuccini Alfredo Products from Nestle Prepared Foods Company due to misbranding and undeclared ingredients.
The recall involved approximately 29,002 pounds of chicken product labeled as Lean Cuisine Fettuccini Alfredo. The issue was uncovered when the firm received multiple consumer complaints.
It was reported that the product labeled as Lean Cuisine Fettuccini Alfredo contained chicken that is not declared on the label or ingredients.
Unfortunately, another contamination happened in June 2020, this time involving Nestle USA's Baking Division. Reports claim that the company made a voluntary recall of Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products.
The voluntary recall came after reports from the FDA and CDC due to E Coli 0157:H7 illnesses possibly related to raw cookie dough consumption.
The recall includes all varieties of Toll House refrigerated Cookie Bar Dough, Cookie Dough Tube, Cookie Dough Tub, Seasonal Cookie Dough, Limited Edition Cookie Dough items, and Ultimates Cookie Bar Dough.
