(WSIL) -- A Kentucky company is recalling about 762,615 pounds of frozen pepperoni Hot Pockets. Officials believe they may contaminated with pieces of glass and hard plastic.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service made the Saturday.

The USDA says it's a Class I recall which means the product has a reasonable possibility of causing serious adverse health consequences or death.
