Frozen pizza item sold at popular grocery stores recalled for salmonella concerns

A frozen pizza item sold at popular grocery stores in the Chicago area and nationwide is now being recalled due to an ongoing salmonella threat that has sparked recalls of more than a dozen other products.

Michigan-based Champion Foods announced last week that it was voluntarily recalling certain batches of Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported Monday.

    The product was sold nationwide at Costco, Walmart, Jewel, Kroger, Target, Meijer and more.

    The recall is due to the potential risk for salmonella contamination.

    The concerns stem from a dry milk powder ingredient supplied by California Dairies, which was recalled in April due to potential salmonella contamination and has been tied to recalls of at least a dozen popular snack items across the U.S. The FDA said no illnesses have been reported so far.

    “The recalled milk powder was supplied to a third-party manufacturer that provides a seasoning blend used in our 5 cheese sauce blend,” Champion Foods said in the recall notice. “To date, neither Champion Foods LLC nor our suppliers have received any reports of illness or injury related to these products. Routine testing conducted by the seasonings blend manufacturer prior to use in the production of the 5 Cheese Bread showed that the seasonings batches tested negative for Salmonella; however, we are taking action out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our customers.”

    Costco put out an alert to customers warning them of the recall, telling customers to return the item to stores for a full refund.

    “Please do not consume, serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled product,” the store said.

    What is salmonella contamination?

    Salmonella is an organism which can infect the intestinal tract and cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

    Symptoms of salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever and typically begin within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can last four to seven days and most people recover without treatment.

    In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis, according to the CDC.
