WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKZO AM/FM) – Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that close to 28,000 pounds of frozen pizza products by Nestle’s DiGiorno brand are being recalled.
In total, 27,872 pounds of the product are being recalled. Officials say this is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens that have been detected.
The product in question is said to be the DiGiorno Crispy Pan Crust pepperoni pizza, which may actually contain frozen three meat pizza.
The three meat pizza contains textured soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

- 26-oz. carton containing “DIGIORNO PEPPERONI CRISPY PAN CRUST” with lot code 1181510721 and “Best Buy” date of MAR2022 on the label.
The problem was discovered after a consumer complaint was received, saying that a three meat pizza was in a carton labeled as pepperoni pizza.
Officials say there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
