In March 2026, Ajinomoto Frozen Foods removed millions of pounds of frozen products—chicken, fried rice with pork, ramen, and shu mai—from shelves due to glass contamination, affecting brands including Trader Joe's, Ling Ling, Tai Pei, Kroger, and Ajinomoto.

In May 2026, Aldi recalled its vanilla crème brûlée dessert, sold in glass containers, for potential glass contamination in seven U.S. states, including New York and Florida.
