Several frozen pizzas sold at Aldi and Walmart have been recalled due to a potential salmonella contamination, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.
The recall affects products containing dry milk powder from an FDA-recalled supplier. Six items are included: Mama Cozzi’s Biscuit Crust Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Pizza and a similar breakfast pizza with pork belly and bacon from Aldi; three Great Value frozen pizzas (Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch, Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch and Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch) from Walmart; and Culinary Circle’s Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza. Pork King’s Sour Cream & Onion Pork Rinds are also recalled.
No adverse reactions have been reported, but consumers are urged to discard or return the products for a full refund. Affected items can be identified by production dates, lot codes and establishment numbers provided by the agency.
Salmonella infections cause symptoms such as diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours. Severe cases may include high fever, headache, lethargy, rash or blood in urine or stool.
