Nestle is recalling some Hot Pockets sold at Wal-Mart and elsewhere around the country because its Southern California production company received a small quantity of meat from Rancho Feeding Corp., the Petaluma company at the center of a huge recall and USDA investigation.
According to a posting on Walmart.com, the products recalled are Hot Pockets brand Philly Steak and Cheese and Hot Pockets brand Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese in the two-pack box.
Nestle warns consumers not to eat those items and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The products included in the recall are:
