As we were checking out at Kroger last night, the self-check speaker said that there was an important message on our receipt. When we got to the car, I looked at it, and it said that the Kroger brand of green peas had been recalled.
The Pictsweet Company issued a voluntary recall on Friday after learning that some of the packages could contain possible glass fragments. These products were distributed to Kroger stores in the South East United States and Wal-Mart stores across the country.
The recall includes these products.
Kroger 12 ounce Green Peas (UPC 11110 89736)

If you have purchased any of these products, you are supposed to return them to the store that you bought them for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact The Pictsweet Company at 1-800-367-7412, extension 417 toll-free from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, Monday through Friday.
It turns out that I did in fact have a couple of bags in my freezer, one of which had already been opened. I will be heading back to Kroger this week to return them.
