Ever enjoy a Lean Cuisine or a Stouffers meal for a quick and easy dinner? Well, think twice. On Monday, Nestle announced some of its meals from August 2024 - March 2025 may be contaminated with a wood-like material inside of them.

Which Stouffer's, Lean Cuisine frozens are being recalled?

“This recall is isolated to a limited quantity of batches of the following items: Lean Cuisine® Butternut Squash Ravioli, Lean Cuisine® Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, Lean Cuisine® Lemon Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry, and STOUFFER’S® Party Size Chicken Lasagna that were produced between August 2024-March 2025. These products were distributed at major retailers in the U.S. between September 2024-March 2025. This recall does not involve any other Lean Cuisine® or STOUFFER’S® products,” said Nestle representatives on their website.

The company also says they are responding and taking care of one choking incident that has occurred due to this and this is why they are initiating the voluntary recall.

Some users took to TikTok to share the news. Journalist PJ Randhawa with NBC Chicago says in a video, “If you have one of these in your freezer, the company says don’t eat it. Take it back to the place you bought it from and you can get a full refund.”

The internet reacts to Nestle recall

TikTok User Orson Wails joked in the comments, “Nestle? I’m shocked.” poking fun at the company which has had issues in the past. The company recalled 440,500 Starbucks mugs due to burn and cut risks last March. In August of 2023 the company also had to recall two batches of its Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “Break and Bake” bar after customers reported wood chips in them.

Nestle says they are actively investigating the source of the wood-like material. And although they have had issues in the past with wood chips being in their products, the company’s reps said in a statement, “We are confident that this is an isolated issue, and we have taken action to address it. We are working with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on this recall and will cooperate with them fully.”

The Daily Dot reached out to both Nestle as well as Walmart for comment on this recall.

WASHINGTON—In the wake of soaring egg prices and shortages nationwide, food experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture released new guidelines Friday recommending the use of hunger as an appropriate egg substitute. “Whether used as a binder in baked goods or on its own as a savory breakfast, not eating can be substituted for eggs in most recipes,” said a USDA spokesperson, citing the practice as a popular method of food preparation that dates back to the Great Depression, when many Americans had nothing on hand in the pantry, making hunger a practical alternative for many meals. “In the finished product, you’ll hardly notice a difference between the pangs of starvation and the pleasant feeling of satiation that comes from necessary, balanced nutrition. It’s also vegan, cost-effective, and much lower in cholesterol compared to a typical egg-based dish. Note that two hours of a painfully empty stomach is roughly equal to one egg, though, so you’ll likely need to suffer at a two-to-one ratio per lack of egg.” USDA officials added that many people found imagining eating an egg far more flavorful than substituting with egg whites.
