The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assigned a risk level to 5,066 cases of a WinCo-branded pizza product sold in ten states.

The potential presence of foreign material in the form of metal fragments led WinCo Foods of Boise, Idaho, to voluntarily withdraw its Deli Margherita Pizza Thin Crust containing Slow Roasted Diced Tomatoes, according to a Feb. 2 FDA enforcement report.

“Our Manufacturer, Rose & Shore, informed us that their ingredient supplier of the slow roasted diced tomatoes, Sevillo Fine Foods, has notified them of a voluntary recall of this ingredient due to the possible presence of metal shavings originating from an outside supplier,” WinCo company leaders said in a Jan. 22 statement online.

WinCo Foods is an employee-owned discount grocery retailer with more than 135 stores across the U.S. West and Midwest.

Since the recall was initially announced on Jan. 15, the FDA assigned the food item its second-highest risk event alert.

“As a Class 2 recall, this means the risk is temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” registered dietitian nutritionist Tiffany Bruno told NTD.

A Class 1 recall is defined as having a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to will cause serious adverse health consequences or death, while a Class 3 event involves products that violate regulations but are unlikely to cause health problems, such as minor labeling errors.

The 17-ounce Take & Bake product was distributed in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington state.

Wrapped in flexible plastic film, the single retail units have a 5-day sell-by date stamped on them along with UPC 0267279 807987 and were sold between Sept. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2025.

WinCo Foods company leaders did not respond to requests for comment by the time of publication. In a statement, they said, “While this product was intended to be cooked and consumed after purchase, customers may have stored the product in their freezer for use at a later date.”

In a similar but separate recall, Rich Products Corp of Buffalo, New York, withdrew 2,792 cases of Gluten-Free Seasoned Vegan Pizza Crust because the product contains undeclared milk and egg, according to a Feb. 2 FDA enforcement report.

The pizza product was distributed in California, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, Indiana and Delaware and has a Best If Used By date of May 10 printed on it.

There are nine major food allergens that the FDA requires all companies to identify in their products. They include milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.

Since the food item was originally recalled on Jan. 7, the FDA classified it as a level 2 risk event.
