Frozen Pizza Sold at Costco, Walmart, Target Recalled Nationwide for Salmonella Risk
If you've recently purchased frozen pizza from stores like Costco, Target, Walmart, Kroger, or Publix, you may want to check your freezer.
Costco issued a recall letter on May 30 to Costco members who may have purchased Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread between February 6 and May 29 to inform them that Champion Foods LLC, the company behind the popular frozen pizza product, is voluntarily recalling certain batches "because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella."

A recall notice published by Champion Foods LLC notes that "this action follows a California Dairies, Inc. milk powder recall due to a concern of potential Salmonella contamination. The recalled milk powder was supplied to a third-party manufacturer that provides a seasoning blend used in our 5-cheese sauce blend."
The notice from Champion Foods LLC also states, "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."
