A public health alert for meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated dairy ingredients that may be contaminated with salmonella includes several varieties of frozen pizzas and two varieties of pork rinds.
The issue, the notification explained, was discovered when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service that multiple "FSIS-regulated establishments received FDA-regulated ingredients formulated with dry milk powder that had been recalled."
The FSIS added that it is concerned that some products may still be in consumers’ or retailers’ refrigerators or freezers.
