Frozen Food Packages Recalled After Pesticides Found Inside

A major Japanese food company has recalled 6.3 million frozen food packages after discovering a pesticide in some products, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Maruha Nichiro Holdings is recalling all 90 products produced at its Aqli Foods Co. plant in Tokyo’s Gunma prefecture. The foods range from frozen pizzas to corn cream croquettes. Some samples sent back by customers contained malathion, an insecticide.

Forty-four of the products were sold at retail outlets and the company supplied the other 46 to restaurants. The amount of product being recalled is equivalent to the plant’s monthly output, the newspaper says.

There are no reports of serious illness.
