If you have dumplings from Trader Joe's in your freezer, you may need to throw them out. Here's what you need to know about the recall.

Trader Joe's Chicken Soup Dumplings recall

A post on Trader Joe's website March 2 announced a recall on 61,000 pounds of its chicken soup dumplings. The recall affects packages with a best-by date of March 7, 2025, and lot codes C1-1 or C1-2. The packages of six dumplings are regularly in most Trader Joe's frozen section.

Why were the dumplings recalled?

The reason for the recall is due to the "potential presence of foreign material (plastic)." Reports state that pieces of plastic were from a marker pen, as reported to the company from consumers. No injuries or illnesses have been reported, but the company urges those with the product in their freezers to discard the item.

The dumplings were made Dec. 7, 2023, at CJ Foods Manufacturing Beaumont Corporation based in Beaumont, California.

Will this recall reach Kentucky shoppers?

The company stated that the product was shipped nationwide, with no specific state or region mentioned.

Customers with questions may contact Trader Joe's Customer Relations at (626) 599-3817 or send them an email.
