The affected meals are Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli, Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, Lemon Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry, and Stouffer's Party Size Chicken Lasagna. They were produced between August 2024 and March 2025.
"We are taking this action after consumers contacted Nestlé USA about this issue, including one potential choking incident to date," the company said. Nestlé is based in Virginia.
The recalled meals were sold at major retailers between September 2024 and March 2025. Customers across the U.S. may have purchased them.
