P.F. Chang's Recalls Frozen Dinners That May Contain 'Metal Fragments' in Sauce
The pieces are possibly "curled, malleable and shiny."
— -- ConAgra Foods is recalling almost 195,600 pounds of P.F. Chang's frozen dinners because they may contain pieces of metal in them, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
The agency announced that P.F. Chang's frozen chicken and beef entree products were being recalled due to possible contamination from metal fragments found in the sauce.
The metal fragments possibly are "curled, malleable and shiny and are between 2 and 9 millimeters in diameter and could be embedded in the sauce contained in frozen meals," according to the statement released Friday.
The recall is an expansion of another recall issued June 6.
"The problem was initially discovered on July 1, 2016, when an establishment employee observed metal fragments while dispensing sugar from a supplier for sauce formulation during processing," the news release said.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injuries from consumption.
