3. From the USDA website:
Kentucky Firm Recalls Frozen Stuffed Chicken Sandwiches That May Contain Pieces of Plastic



Recall Release CLASS I RECALL
FSIS-RC-023-2008 HEALTH RISK: HIGH

WASHINGTON, July 14, 2008 - Nestlé Prepared Foods Company, a Mt. Sterling, Ky., establishment, is recalling approximately 199,417 pounds of frozen stuffed chicken sandwich products that may contain pieces of plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The following products are subject to recall:
9-ounce boxes of "Lean Pockets Spinach Artichoke Chicken - 2 sandwiches." Printed on the side of each box is a "Best Before" date of "Nov 2009" followed by a package code beginning "8144 544616." Also printed on the side of the package is the establishment number "P7721A."

The products were produced on May 23 and distributed to retail establishments nationwide.

The problem was discovered after the company received consumer complaints. FSIS has not received any consumer complaints at this time. Two injuries have been reported to the company. Anyone concerned about an injury from consumption of the products should contact a physician.

Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Nestlé Consumer Services Center at (800) 350-5016. Media with questions about the recall should contact Company Marketing Communications Manager Roz O'Hearn at (440) 264-5170.

Nestle's batting average isn't great...their PureLife water was recalled a couple of weeks ago.

4. Don't support Nestle
Really, you shouldn't be buying from Nestle, unless you support their "donations" of tons of infant formula to third-world nations (with accompanying charitable donation tax writeoffs). Nestle was so confident that the FDA would approve their baby formula, they went into production, and had tons of the shit ready to ship when the FDA came back and disapproved the product for containing heavy metals. So they "donated" it to poor nations. The result? Significant rise in infant mortality. Why? You have to mix the powdered formula with water, and clean water can be hard to come by.

Additionally, supplying formula to young mothers interrupted lactation, meaning once they left the hospital, they'd have no choice but to continue feeding the baby formula.

All in all, Nestle is a BAD company. Just type Nestle Boycott into Google and read some of what comes up.
