New York (CNN Business)A packaging mixup has prompted a recall of a batch of DiGiorno pepperoni pizzas.
Nestlé USA, which owns the frozen pizza brand, has recalled a batch of 26-ounce boxes labeled DiGiorno Crispy Pan Crust Pepperoni Pizzas because they actually contain Three Meat Crispy Pan Crust Pizza. The three meat pizza includes soy protein — it’s in the beef topping and sausage crumbles — and can be harmful to people with soy allergies.
The company said it became aware of the issue after it was contacted by a consumer. The affected boxes have the manufacturing date June 30, 2021, and a “best by” date of March 2022. The batch code on the items is 1181510721.
The recall affects 27,872 pounds of pizza, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
