Home Run Inn frozen pizza recalled over possible metal contamination

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Sunday that Home Run Inn Frozen Foods is recalling around 13,099 pounds of frozen meat pizza product that may be contaminated with materials, particularly metal.

The USDA says the frozen meat pizzas were made on June 6 of this year, and the following are recalled: 33.5-oz cartons containing “Home Run Inn Chicago’s Premium Pizzeria Deluxe Sausage Classic Pizza” with a best by date of Dec. 3, 2022.

In addition, the recalled product will include the establishment number EST. 18498-A inside the USDA mark of inspection. The pizzas were shipped to a distributor in Illinois before being delivered to retailers.

The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting metal was found in the pizza.

The USDA says there are no confirmed reports of injuries or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products as of Aug. 14. If you are concerned about an injury or illness, please contact a healthcare provider.
