Nestle USA’s Pizza Division is recalling select production codes of four different frozen pizzas sold in the U.S. These include:
- California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) Crispy Thin Crust White, UPC 71921 98745; production codes are 3062525951, 3062525952 and 3063525951.
- California Pizza Kitchen Limited Edition Grilled Chicken with Cabernet Sauce, UPC 71921 00781; production code is 3059525952.
- DiGiorno Crispy Flatbread Pizza Tuscan Style Chicken, UPC 71921 02663; production codes are 3057525922 and 3058525921.
- DiGiorno pizzeria! Bianca/White Pizza, UPC 71921 91484; production code is 3068525951.
The recall comes after consumers reported that they had found small fragments of plastic on the CPK Crispy Thin Crust White pizza. A company investigation indicates this is directly related to a particular lot of spinach from one of its suppliers. No complaints have been received to date on the other three varieties that used this spinach.
The recall is limited to frozen pizzas with the above production codes, which were distributed nationwide. No other production codes/dates, sizes or varieties of California Pizza Kitchen or Digiorno pizzas are affected.
All the pizzas being recalled were produced during February and March of this year. Nestle has instructed its direct store delivery team to begin removing pizzas affected by this recall at retail locations nationwide and working to ensure that these varieties are removed from freezer shelves nationwide.
Nestle urges consumers to check their freezers for products affected by this recall.
To locate the production codes, look for a blue or pink rectangular box on one of the side panels of the pizza box. The production code is on the second line of the printed code and is the first ten digits of the number.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled pizzas should not consume the pizza, but instead should contact Nestle USA Consumer Services at 800-456-4394 or nestlepizza@casupport.com for further instructions. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., E.T. and this Saturday, May 4th from 12 noon – 8 p.m. E.T..
Nestle will provide a replacement coupon to reporting consumers and also may make arrangements to retrieve the pizza for further examination.
