Frozen pizzas recalled over possible metal contamination
Home Run Inn Frozen Foods is recalling approximately 13,000 pounds of frozen meat pizzas that may be contaminated with metal pieces, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Sunday.
The frozen meat pizzas were produced on June 6, 2022.
The product recalled is the 33.5-oz cartons containing “Home Run Inn CHICAGO'S PREMIUM PIZZERIA DELUXE SAUSAGE CLASSIC PIZZA” with “best by” date “12/03/22”.
The products also have the establishment number “EST. 18498-A” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
These items were shipped to a distributor in Illinois and then further distributed to retailers.
The company said the problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting metal was found in the pizza.
There have been no confirmed reports of injuries or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
The FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ freezers or found at distributor and retail locations.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. Additionally, distributors and retailers are urged not to sell these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Nick Perrino, COO of Home Run Inn Frozen Foods, at 630-783-9696, ext. 2151.
