WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2005 - The Minh production facility of Schwan’s Food Manufacturing, Inc., located in Pasadena, Tex., is voluntarily recalling approximately 162,500 pounds of frozen egg rolls that may contain small pieces of glass, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The products being recalled are:
  • 11-ounce packages of "PAGODA, WHITE MEAT CHICKEN EGG ROLLS & TEXTURED SOY FLOUR." Each package bears the date code "384315."
  • 11-ounce packages of "PAGODA, PORK AND SHRIMP & VEGETABLE PROTEIN PRODUCT." Each package bears the date code "384314" or "384315."
  • 3.75-pound packages of "MINH GOURMET CHICKEN EGG ROLLS, WHITE MEAT CHICKEN." Each package bears the date code "384313."

Each package also displays the establishment number "EST. 5630" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The egg rolls were packaged between November 8 and 11, 2004, and were distributed to retail stores nationwide.

The problem was discovered after the company received consumer complaints. FSIS has received no reports of injury from consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury from consumption of the products should contact a physician.
