"This past Friday, August 29, 2025, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for the Trader Joe's frozen pepperoni pizza made in Italy, since the product failed to receive the import reinspection step required for the sale and consumption of the product. As a result, the FSIS has flagged the product specifically with the following lot codes listed on the packaging: "MFG LOT: 06/16/25 BEST BY: 08/16/26" or "MFG LOT: 06/21/25 BEST BY 08/21/26.""
"So, if you bought one of these pizzas recently, especially from one of the affected stores listed on Trader Joe's website, the FSIS alert states that the "product should be thrown away or returned" to Trader Joe's. You can check your freezer to see if you have the impacted pizza by looking for the lot codes on the bottom of the pack, where they're usually printed, as well as the SKU number: 79898."
