A frozen pizza company has issued recalls in multiple states over contamination concerns, reports the Wisconsin State Journal.
Palermo Villa Inc., based out of Milwaukee, on Friday said 1,728 of its Connie's Thin Crust Cheese Frozen Pizzas may contain a plastic foreign contaminant.
The recall affects pizzas distributed to retail grocery stores in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin with an expiration date of Nov. 27.
"This recall alert, which is being conducted under the full cooperation of the FDA, is being issued out of an abundance of caution in the event that a product remains in a consumer's freezer," the company said in a release.
"The pizzas are no longer available for purchase. Consumers who have purchased these pizzas are urged not to consume them. They should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase for a refund."
The contamination was discovered "after samples were collected from a store in Baltimore, Maryland and subsequent analysis by State of Maryland Department of Health Laboratories Administration revealed the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes in some 200g packages of Daily Veggies Enoki Mushroom form Korea," the company said.
"Remaining products in the warehouse had been destroyed."
