Champion Foods Issues Nationwide Recall Due to Undeclared Allergen in Pizza Products

WHAT: The recall involves multiple varieties of frozen pizzas sold under brand names including Champion Foods, Great Value, and others, distributed nationwide. The issue stems from the presence of wheat and milk, which are not listed on the product labels, potentially triggering severe allergic reactions in individuals with sensitivities.

WHERE: The recalled items were distributed to retail stores across all 50 states, including major chains such as Walmart, Kroger, and Target. Specific lot numbers and expiration dates are available on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website.
WHO: Champion Foods, a leading frozen food manufacturer based in Michigan, is coordinating the recall with the FDA. Consumers who have purchased the pizzas are advised to return them to the point of sale for a full refund.
WHY: The recall was issued to prevent potential adverse health events, including anaphylaxis, in people with wheat or milk allergies. No illnesses have been reported to date, but Champion Foods urges immediate action to ensure public safety.
