Saint Francis Apizza LLC — Class II: Saint Francis Apizza Frozen Pepperoni Pizza, Net Weight: 17 oz. (482g), packaged individua
Saint Francis Apizza LLC has initiated a Class II recall for its Frozen Pepperoni Pizza (17 oz) due to undeclared soy allergens, specifically soybean oil and soy lecithin. The product was distributed in vacuum-sealed plastic packaging under UPC 6 66186 27762 1.
This recall affects Saint Francis Apizza LLC, its distribution partners, and quality/regulatory personnel responsible for allergen control and labeling verification in frozen food manufacturing.
The classification as a Class II recall suggests that while the health risk is not immediate or life-threatening for the general population, it poses a significant risk to individuals with soy sensitivities. This event highlights potential gaps in ingredient statement verification or supplier communication regarding sub-ingredients in processed meats or dough conditioners.
Review raw material specifications for complex ingredients like pepperoni to ensure sub-ingredients (e.g., soy lecithin) are captured on the final label. Audit vacuum-seal packaging lines to verify correct label application matches the specific batch formulation.
Class II. Reason: Undeclared soy allergen: soybean oil and soy lecithin. Product: Saint Francis Apizza Frozen Pepperoni Pizza, Net Weight: 17 oz. (482g), packaged individually in vacuum-sealed plastic, UPC: 6 66186 27762 1. Firm: Saint Francis Apizza LLC (Cincinnati OH United States). Status: Ongoing.
