Hot Pockets Pulled from Shelves Over ‘Processed Diseased and Unsound Animals’

The USDA recalled more than 8.7 million pounds of meat from Rancho Feeding Corporation when they discovered the beef producer had “processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection.”

In response, Nestlé USA issued a voluntary recall of their Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets after confirming that a limited quantity of meat from Rancho was used at a California facility “devoted entirely to HOT POCKETS brand sandwiches.”

While no illnesses have been reported as of now, the affected Hot Pocket batches have been pulled from store shelves. If you’re concerned that you may have eaten beaver nuts and Swiss cheese for lunch, you can check out the exact batch codes here:
