WASHINGTON - The maker of DiGiorno pizzas is recalling 27,872 pounds of frozen Crispy Pan Crust pepperoni pizza due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service says the product contains textured soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The frozen pepperoni pizza product carton may contain frozen three meat pizza, which contains textured soy protein. The pizza products were produced on June 30, 2021. The following product is subject to recall:

26-oz. carton containing “DIGIORNO PEPPERONI CRISPY PAN CRUST” with lot code 1181510721 and “Best Buy” date of MAR2022 on the label.

The products bear establishment number “EST. 1682A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. Establishment 1682A is Nation Pizza Products Limited, which is owned by Nestle USA, Inc. These items were shipped to retail locations and distribution centers nationwide including Giant Eagle supermarkets.  

Walmart has compiled a list of stores that received the recalled pizza. None are in Ohio or Pennsylvania.         

The problem was discovered after the firm received a consumer complaint that a three-meat pizza was in a carton labeled as pepperoni pizza.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. 

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in peoples’ freezers. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
