Hot Pockets Recalled Over Possible Glass + Plastic Contamination
When you bite into a piping hot pepperoni Hot Pocket, there are several things you expect. You expect to taste pizza sauce, chunks of spicy pepperoni, and gooey mozzarella cheese. What you don't expect to bite into is a piece of glass or plastic. For some customers, that's exactly what they got.
Nestle, the company behind the insanely popular product, in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, is recalling over 760,000 pounds (762,615 pounds to be exact) after four different customers reported finding "extraneous material" in their Pockets. One of which reported a minor injury inside their mouth.
