Trader Joe's has issued an urgent warning to customers about four popular frozen foods included in a massive recall. Ajinomoto Foods North America, Inc. is expanding a February 19, 2026 recall of frozen not-ready-to-eat chicken products over potential foreign material contamination after glass was discovered.
Approximately 33,617,045 additional pounds of various ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shu mai dumpling products have been recalled. Trader Joe's announced Tuesday that four of its products have been affected as part of the expanded recall. The recall includes Trader Joe's Chicken Fried Rice with Best By Dates through March 4, 2026, and February 10, 2027, Trader Joe's Vegetable Fried Rice with Best By Dates between February 28, 2026, and November 19, 2026, Trader Joe's Japanese Style Fried Rice with Best By Dates between February 28, 2026, and November 14, 2026, and Trader Joe's Chicken Su Mui with Best By Dates between March 13, 2026, and October 23, 2026.
Customers with affected items can return them to any Trader Joe's store for a full refund. The recall comes after the FSIS received multiple consumer complaints involving glass. A further investigation found that carrots were the likely source of the glass contamination, leading to additional products being recalled.
The expansion of the recall includes 16 products sold between October 21, 2024, and February 26, 2026, under brand names Ajinomoto, Kroger, Ling Ling and Tai Pei.
