"The unhappy truth is that even in the tightly controlled food industry, mistakes sometimes happen, and those lapses can lead to recalls. Recalls can feel almost like a personal betrayal when they affect a food you love, and realistically, just about everyone loves pizza. We've verified 19 frozen pizza recalls so far this century, affecting companies both large and small, that shocked the nation's pizza lovers."
"New York-based artisan pizza-maker Table 87, which some of you may recall from its appearance on "Shark Tank," opted to make that the main topping on one of its coal-oven pizzas. In 2019, the restaurant recalled 649 pounds of those prosciutto pizzas because the ham was made with uninspected pork. So while there was no evidence it was unsafe, there was no evidence it was safe either."
Frozen pizza is a popular and diverse sector offering everything from gluten-free options to artisanal pies. Despite industry controls, mistakes and lapses sometimes trigger recalls that affect both large and small companies. Records show 19 frozen pizza recalls so far this century, causing concern among consumers who expect safe food. Examples include a 2019 Table 87 recall of 649 pounds of prosciutto pizzas because the ham came from uninspected pork. Recalls can stem from uninspected ingredients, labeling or allergen issues, and they undermine consumer confidence in otherwise convenient frozen products.
