- The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for Trader Joe’s frozen uncured pepperoni pizza.
- The alert was prompted because the product, imported from Italy, did not undergo the mandatory import re-inspection process.
- A formal recall was not requested, as the pizza is no longer being sold and was exclusively available in Trader Joe’s stores in California.
- Trader Joe’s explained the issue was due to a paperwork error and confirmed no adverse reactions have been reported from consumption.
- This incident follows other recent safety concerns and recalls involving Trader Joe’s products, such as organic acai bowls and scented candles.
