WASHINGTON, D.C. (WHNT) — Over 13,000 pounds of frozen sausage pizzas are being recalled due to the possibility of metal pieces in the food, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
On Sunday, Aug. 14, the USDA made the official recall for 13,099 pounds of the Home Run Inn brand of frozen pizzas, produced by Home Run Inn Frozen Foods in Woodridge, Illinois.

These packages will also have an establishment number of “EST. 18498-A” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
According to the USDA, the problem was discovered when the distributor received consumer complaints reporting that metal had been found in the pizza. No confirmed injuries or adverse reactions have been reported so far.
The FSIS said the pizzas were sent to a distributor in Illinois and then distributed to other retailers across the country.
The agency encourages anyone who has these products in their freezers to throw them out or return them to their place of purchase. Distributors are also advised not to sell the pizzas.
Anyone with concerns or questions can contact the USDA by calling 888-674-6854 or by sending an email to its hotline.
