Broccoli Tots Recalled for Rocks and Metal

Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), is voluntarily recalling Birds Eye Broccoli Tots in 12 ounce packages with specific best buy dates due to the potential presence of small rocks and metal fragments in the product. Conagra Brands was made aware of this issue through calls from consumers.  Conagra has received two reports to date of injury (dental damage) associated with the recalled product. Consumers who have purchased this product are advised to dispose of it.

This is a reformed product (like a tater tot), so did rocks get into the equipment and damage the blades, thus a recall for both rocks and metal?
