A recall has been issued for frozen pizzas sold at Walmart and Aldi due to potential salmonella contamination.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) released a health alert on April 30, which includes various meat and poultry items as well as certain FDA-regulated dairy products.
The recall specifically affects two types of Mama Cozzi’s frozen pizzas found at Aldi.
Among the recalled items is the Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Pizza with Biscuit Crust, along with Cooked Pork Belly Crumble with Biscuit Crust, Cooked Bacon Topping, and Pepper and Onion Breakfast Pizza. These products have best buy dates ranging from February 17, 2026, to February 26, 2026.
In an update on May 1, FSIS expanded the list of recalled products to include Great Value’s Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch and Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch sold at Walmart.
These pizzas have best buy dates between February 11, 2026, and March 8, 2026, and also one batch of Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch with a best buy date of April 13, 2026.
A spokesperson for Walmart stated that customer health and safety remains their highest priority. They mentioned that restrictions on sales have been implemented and the affected products have been removed from stores. The company is also cooperating with suppliers to investigate the situation.
Additionally, Culinary Circle’s Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch frozen pizza has been included, with a best buy date of February 19, 2026. Pork King’s Sour Cream & Onion Pork Rinds and Party Size Sour Cream & Onion Pork Rinds are also being recalled, with best buy dates ranging from June 2026 to August 2026.
Consumers who have these products at home should throw them out or return them to the place of purchase. FSIS has advised retailers not to sell the recalled items.
FSIS was informed by the FDA that several facilities regulated by FSIS have received FDA-regulated ingredients, including previously recalled powdered milk.
To date, there have not been any reported illnesses linked to these products, but anyone who has concerns about potential reactions should consult their healthcare provider.
Salmonella contamination can lead to salmonellosis, a common form of food poisoning. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, typically appearing within 6 hours to 6 days after consuming the contaminated item. Generally, the illness lasts between 4 to 7 days.
