Overview
- Bakkavor initiated a voluntary recall that the FDA classified as Class II, signaling a lower risk of severe harm but a need for caution.
- More than 25,000 cases are affected across Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia.
- The list includes Trader Joe’s Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia, HelloFresh Basil Pesto & Mozzarella Pizza, and focaccias sold by Meijer and Food Lion, with some items reaching customers via grocery delivery services.
- Investigators traced the likely source to roasted tomatoes from an ingredient supplier, showing how a single input can contaminate multiple brands.
- Consumers are advised not to eat the products, to check lot codes and use-by dates against FDA notices, and to discard or return matching items for refunds.
