WASHINGTON (AP) _ Schwan's Food Manufacturing Inc. is recalling thousands of frozen egg rolls, spring rolls, tacos and pizza twists because they may contain glass fragments, the government says.

Products made in Schwan's Minh plant in Pasadena, Texas, were first recalled Jan. 19 after the company received six complaints from people who founds shards of glass in their food, the Agriculture Department said.

After receiving a complaint about a product not on the original list, the company this week expanded its nationwide recall to include several more items produced at the plant in November

Some of the food was sold to school cafeterias, though it was unclear where. A message left with the Marshall, Minn.-based company was not immediately returned on Wednesday.

No one has reported any injuries, the company said in a statement.
