Conagra has announced a recall of multiple lots of Birds Eye Broccoli Tots after two consumers alerted the company that they had hurt their teeth or mouth because of the presence of metal and small rocks in the product.

The bags of recalled frozen tots are marked as follows:
• Best by Aug. 11, 2022, or Aug. 12, 2022 (lot code: 4715104220).

• Best by Aug. 19, 2022, or Aug. 25, 2022 (lot code: 4715105620).

• Best by Nov. 10, 2022 (lot code: 4715113020).

• Best by Nov. 17, 2022 (lot code: 4715113720).

No other Birds Eye products are involved in this recall.

Conagra said it is working with retailers to remove the recalled Broccoli Tots from store shelves. Before you buy this product, check the date and lot code in the store.
