Nestle said Monday that it is recalling some of its Hot Pockets varieties as part of a larger recall announced by Rancho Feeding Corporation last week on some of its meat products.
The company announced that two versions of the “Philly Steak” variety - the regular Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets and the Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese - are affected. Nestle said that it found that only these two varieties possibly used meat recalled by Rancho. It claimed that while the company did not deal directly with Rancho, companies on their supply chain may have worked with Rancho during the past year.
According to the Associated Press, Rancho had recalled 8.7 million pounds of beef products. The USDA said that the products should not be consumed by humans, noting that the products came from diseased animals that had not been inspected.
Anyone who bought a Hot Pockets package affected by the recall can get a refund where they purchased the product or call Nestle’s customer service at (800) 392-4057.
The USDA has said that no illnesses have been reported as a result of the Rancho recall.
