The items were shipped to retailers and distributors nationwide.

The problem was discovered on Friday, Dec.18 by the company after receiving five consumer complaints involving hard white plastic found in the product. 

The company believes the mashed potatoes used in the production of the baked chicken meals products had pieces of a plastic conveyor belt that broke during production, the FDA said.

FSIS said it has not received any reports of injury or illness from consumption of the products. 

"FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ freezers," the FDA said. "Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase."

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Nestlé Prepared Foods, at (800) 993-8625.
