Over 3 million pounds of frozen chicken fried rice has been recalled because they may be contaminated with pieces of glass, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

​The problem was discovered after four consumers alerted the manufacturer, Ajinomoto Foods North America, that they found glass in the product, FSIS said. ​
