When recalls hit our usual shopping spots, it's always a little unsettling. And when it affects two big retailers, like Walmart and Aldi, the recall covers an even larger number of consumers. Right now, there's a frozen pizza recall underway at both chains, though the items in question are sold under different labels and in different forms.
Food recalls usually begin when something triggers a safety alarm—such as routine testing, consumer complaints, reports of illness or manufacturing issues like contamination or undeclared allergens. Sometimes companies catch the problem themselves, while other times the FDA or USDA steps in.

At Aldi, the recall involves some Mamma Cozzi's pizzas that the grocer sells. Meanwhile, over at Walmart, there are varieties of the store's private-label Great Value and another brand, Culinary Circle, that are cause for concern.
USDA
According to the USDA, these pizzas were recalled because some of the dairy ingredients used in them, specifically those made with recalled dry milk powder, may be contaminated with salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious foodborne illness.

The issue started when the FDA discovered the dry milk powder problem and alerted the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), which then traced where those potentially affected ingredients had been used in meat and poultry products, including certain frozen pizzas. In other words, this recall wasn't initially sparked by the pizzas themselves, but by a contaminated ingredient used somewhere along the production chain. Because more products could still be identified, officials are continuing to update the alert as they track where that recalled ingredient may have ended up.
