Salmonella Alert Expanded: Aldi Pizzas Added to List of Impacted Products
The agency said the recall covers multiple breakfast pizza items after recalled dry milk powder was used in the cheese.
On Thursday, the FSIS issued a public health alert for Mama Cozzi frozen pizzas sold at Aldi due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall involves products produced by establishments that received FDA-regulated ingredients containing contaminated dry milk powder.
Regulators initiated the alert after the FDA discovered multiple establishments received ingredients from a previous Ghirardelli recall. This contamination prompted officials to issue the current public health alert for the specific Mama Cozzi items.
The alert impacts the Mama Cozzi Biscuit Crust Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Pizza and the Biscuit Crust Cooked Pork Belly Crumbles, Cooked Bacon, Pepper and Onion Pizza. Symptoms of Salmonellosis include fever, diarrhea, or abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours.
Consumers should check freezers for items with "best/used by" dates of October 15, 2026, and October 21–24, 2026. The FSIS urges consumers to discard the pizzas or return them to Aldi for a full refund.
Shoppers with questions can call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline or contact Patricia Jones, Aldi, Inc. contact representative, for updates. The department will update this public health alert as the investigation into contaminated ingredients continues.
