Plain-English summary
Whole Foods/North Atlantic Kitchens is recalling approximately 73,898 pounds of frozen pepperoni pizza products due to misbranding. The products are labeled as containing uncured beef pepperoni, but they actually contain uncured pork pepperoni, which is not declared on the label. Some individuals have a sensitivity or intolerance to pork.
The recalled items include 10-oz. and 19-oz. vacuum-sealed packages of Whole Foods Markets Pepperoni Pizza. These products were produced between January 5, 2015, and January 22, 2016, and bear establishment number EST. 20234. They were distributed for wholesale and retail sale in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. The issue was discovered during a label review by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and resulted from a change in ingredient suppliers.
