FDA Alert: Recall of Frozen Pizza and Focaccia

An extensive recall of frozen food has been issued, impacting over 25,000 cases of pizza and focaccia distributed among several prominent retailers. The affected products are produced by Bakkavor and available at stores such as Trader Joe’s, HelloFresh, Harris Teeter, Meijer, and Fresh & Simple.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration raised this recall after it was found that slow-roasted tomatoes in these items might contain tiny metal pieces. The FDA has categorized this as a Class II recall, indicating that consumption might lead to temporary or reversible health concerns.

The products involved include Basil Pesto & Mozzarella Pizza and Roasted Tomato Parmesan Focaccia, with expiration dates from June to October 2026.

If you have these items at home, do not consume them. Instead, dispose of them or return them to the retailer for a full refund. Be sure to verify the UPC codes and expiration dates closely to determine if your product is included in the recall.

Stay updated and consistently verify food recall notifications to ensure your family's safety.
