consumer-alert-harness-hot-pocket-web-gfxSOLON, Ohio (Feb. 19, 2014 – CNN) — Nestlé USA has issued a recall of two varieties of Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets because they may contain meat that has already been recalled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The two brands are Hot Pockets brand Philly Steak and Cheese in three different pack sizes, and Hot Pockets brand Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese in the two pack box.

For the exact batch code, please check this release.

The USDA recalled more than 8.7 million pounds of meat from the Rancho Feeding Corporation because it “processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection.” [Click here for that original recall]

No illnesses have been reported in relation to the recall.

According to Nestlé, consumers should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Nestlé consumer services at 800-392-4057
