Nestle Recalls Lean Cuisine Spaghetti over Red Plastic in Packages

(NewsCore) - Nestle Prepared Foods Company was recalling Tuesday some packages of Lean Cuisine Simple Favorites Spaghetti with Meatballs in the US over fears the product contains red plastic.

The product in question was produced late October and distributed to a number of US states, the company said late Monday.

The recall was limited to one hour of production and no other varieties or production dates of Lean Cuisine products were affected.

Nestle decided to issue the recall after a number of customers reported they had found plastic in the meatball portion of the meal. No injuries were reported.

As a precautionary measure, Nestle recalled the entire hour code of the product marked 0298595519 P. The production code can be found on the gray "proof of purchase" panel, located on the right end flap of the package.

Nestle said, "We apologize to our retail customers and consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this voluntary product recall."
