WASHINGTON - Nestle Prepared Foods Company, a Solon, Ohio, importing firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 47,000 pounds of frozen chicken pot pie imported form Canada that may contain small pieces of plastic and glass, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The products subject to recall are 16 oz. packages of "Stouffer's CHICKEN POT PIE." No other sizes or varieties of Stouffer's brand products are affected by the recall. Each package bears the code "445" inside the Canadian mark of inspection. The packages bear the UPC code "13800-10635." Also included on each label is the production code "4066VH,"followed by a letter (A-Z).

The pot pie was produced on March 6 and distributed to retail stores nationwide.
