Frozen pizza product recalled in 21 states as it may contain metal pieces
Rich Products Corp said the affected snacks may contain metal pieces, and the FDA classified the recall as Class II after 6,408 cases were pulled.
- Rich Products Corporation voluntarily recalled 6,408 cases, or 160,200 pounds, of Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers after discovering potential metal contamination in the frozen snacks distributed across 21 states including California, Texas, Florida, and New York.
- Although the recall began on May 19, 2026, the Food and Drug Administration did not classify it as a Class II event until June 9, 2026, leaving the product in regulatory limbo for three weeks.
- Consumers can identify affected packages by lot number 003029976, UPC 041322652256, and a "Best by" date of July 30, 2027; swallowed metal fragments can injure the mouth or digestive tract, posing particular risks to children.
- While Rich Products Corp did not name specific retailers, the product is typically sold at Walmart, Lidl, and Dollar General; families should discard affected items or return them for a refund.
- This incident marks the third metal contamination recall to reach American shoppers in 2026, following similar actions by Bakkavor and Straus Family Creamery, raising broader questions about food safety oversight.
