orywireFry Pie Factory recalled 5-ounce Pepperoni Rolls sold in Ohio and parts of West Virginia because milk was not declared on the label and the rolls were not kept at proper refrigeration temperatures. Consumers should not eat the recalled product and should discard it or return it for a refund.
Fry Pie Factory has recalled its 5-ounce Pepperoni Rolls because the label does not declare milk and the company reported a refrigeration process deviation. Consumers who bought the rolls in Ohio or parts of West Virginia should not eat them; Fry Pie Factory says to discard them or return them for a full refund.
The recall covers Fry Pie Factory Pepperoni Rolls in 5-ounce packages, according to the company announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Fry Pie Factory said the rolls were distributed throughout Ohio and parts of West Virginia and sold at convenience stores, grocery stores and gas stations.
Fry Pie Factory said the rolls were misbranded because milk, a known allergen, was not declared on the label. For people with a milk allergy or severe sensitivity, undeclared milk can create a serious reaction risk because a shopper may not know the allergen is present.
The company also reported a refrigeration problem. The notice said the Pepperoni Rolls were not stored, distributed or sold at appropriate temperatures, which may allow pathogenic growth and pose a foodborne illness risk.
No illnesses had been reported in the company announcement posted by the FDA. The notice did not identify a specific pathogen or say that a pathogen had been found in the product.
The allergen risk and the refrigeration issue are separate concerns. The milk issue is most urgent for people with a milk allergy or severe sensitivity, while the temperature-control issue is a broader food safety concern for anyone who bought the recalled rolls.
Do not eat the recalled Pepperoni Rolls. Fry Pie Factory says consumers should throw them away or return them to Fry Pie Factory for a full refund.
Anyone who has signs of an allergic reaction or foodborne illness after eating the product should contact a health care provider immediately, according to the recall notice. Consumers with questions may contact Mark Thompson at 405-990-4657.
The FDA-posted notice identifies the recalled food by brand, product description, size and distribution area. It does not list a package count, a full retailer-by-retailer list or a separate lot code in the written announcement.
That means shoppers should not rely only on a store name to decide whether a package is covered. Check the brand and 5-ounce package size first, then compare the visible label details and contact the company or the place of purchase if the package appears to match.
Nara Organics has recalled all Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula in the U.S. amid an FDA and CDC infant botulism investigation. Caregivers should stop using the formula immediately and follow official guidance for opened and unopened cans.
The FDA posted the company announcement on June 18 and listed the recall page as current as of that date. Future updates would be important if Fry Pie Factory or the FDA adds lot information, names specific retailers, expands the distribution area or reports any illnesses.
