Champion Foods Expands Pizza Recall Over Undeclared Allergen Risk
DETROIT, MI – Champion Foods has announced an expansion of its voluntary recall of select frozen pizza products, citing the potential presence of an undeclared allergen that poses a serious health risk to consumers. The recall, initially issued on August 10, 2023, now includes additional production codes and distribution dates.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the company identified that certain pizzas may contain milk, a known allergen not listed on the product label. The affected items were distributed to retailers and food service operators across multiple states, including Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
Champion Foods initiated the recall after a routine internal audit discovered the labeling error. As of now, no illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported in connection with this issue. The company urges consumers who purchased the recalled pizzas to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The FDA advises individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivity to avoid consuming these products to prevent potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. For further information, consumers can contact Champion Foods directly via their customer service hotline.
