Border staff caught a shipment of pizza from Toronto-based
RFG Canada Inc. that was not declared for border inspection.
As a result, the company is recalling 1,250 pounds of meat
and poultry pizza products distributed in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety
and Inspection Service (FSIS) said that without the benefit of full inspection,
a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.
The self-rising chicken bacon ranch and thin crust pepperoni
pizzas were produced in Canada on March 3 and Aug. 17 and imported to the
United States on or around Sept. 13. The following products are subject to
recall:
-30.3
oz. packages of “WEIS Self-Rising Pizza; Chicken Bacon Ranch” containing the
UPC code 041497028337 and Canada Establishment 411 and best by date MAY 16
2017.
