Trader Joe’s has issued a recall for select frozen chicken fried rice products after reports of possible glass contamination, according to reporting by KGW. The grocery chain stated that one of the recalled items was distributed nationwide, raising concerns for customers in Southwest Washington, including those who shop at locations along the I‑5 corridor.

The recall stems from consumer reports indicating potential foreign material in the product. While no injuries have been confirmed, Trader Joe’s has advised customers to discard the affected item or return it to any store for a full refund. Specific lot numbers and packaging details were not immediately provided in the KGW report, but the company emphasized that safety remains a priority.

For Cowlitz County residents, the recall highlights ongoing regional reliance on national supply chains and the importance of swift notification when food safety issues arise. Local shoppers who may have purchased the frozen chicken fried rice are encouraged to review any products currently stored in their freezers and follow the company’s guidance.

Columbia Countercurrent will continue monitoring recall updates and provide additional information if federal food safety agencies release further documentation.
