Virginia-based Nestlé USA is recalling multiple frozen food items over concerns about foreign material contamination after a potential choking incident, the company said in a March 18 recall notice published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The company said it is investigating the source of a wood-like material that contaminated the products and has taken steps to address the issue. Nestlé is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the FDA on the recall.
