Summary

RFG Canada Inc. is recalling approximately 1,250 pounds of WEIS brand frozen meat and poultry pizza products because they were imported from Canada and distributed in the U.S. without being presented for required USDA inspection. While no illnesses have been reported, products that bypass federal safety inspections pose a potential health risk. The recall includes 30.3 oz. packages of Self-Rising Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza and 20.2 oz. thin crust pepperoni pizza 3-packs sold at retail stores in Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Risk

The products were distributed into commerce without receiving the required FSIS re-inspection upon entry to the United States, meaning their safety cannot be verified, which poses a possibility of adverse health consequences.

  2. Check your freezer for WEIS Thin Crust Pepperoni Pizza 3 Pack in 20.2 oz. packages with UPC 041497026524, Canada Establishment 411, and a 'best by' date of DEC 01 2016.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact RFG Canada Inc. CEO Joe Ricci at (416) 798-9900 ext. 221 for further instructions.
