Frozen Pizzas Recalled Over Pieces Of Metal Found In Sausage Product
Chicago-based Home Run Inn Frozen Foods on Sunday recalled over 13,000 pounds of frozen meat pizza products over concerns they were "contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically metal," the Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) said in a press release.
The product that was recalled was the frozen, 33.5-ounce cartons containing "Home Run Inn Chicago's Premium Pizzeria Deluxe Sausage Classic Pizza" with a best by date of Dec. 3, 2022, according to the release.
Consumers had filed complaints that metal was found in the pizzas.
The USDA recommends that the frozen pizzas "not be consumed" and should be thrown away or returned to the original place of purchase by both consumers and retailers.
"FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers' freezers or found at distributor and retail locations," the USDA said.
"There have been no confirmed reports of injuries or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider," the USDA said.
Questions about the recall can be directed to Nick Perrino, COO of Home Run Inn Frozen Foods, at 630-783-9696, ext. 2151.
The press release noted that the FSIS "routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers."
