FDA's June 3 recall index still carried the June 1 Motor City Pizza 5 Cheese Bread recall, a small freezer assignment sitting on the same public list as medical-device corrections, supplement recalls and allergy alerts. [1]

Champion Foods said the recall followed a California Dairies milk-powder recall over possible Salmonella contamination, and it identified two formats: single packs with UPC 8 70375 00511 1 and two-packs with UPC 8 70375 00509 8, with sell-by dates from February through April 2027 depending on the package. [2]

The company said neither it nor its suppliers had received illness or injury reports tied to the bread, and it added that routine testing by the seasoning-blend manufacturer had been negative before the ingredient was used. [2]

Those qualifiers keep the story useful rather than panicked: a possible upstream ingredient problem does not mean every frozen pizza product is suspect, but it does mean a shopper with this brand should open the freezer and compare the UPC and sell-by date against the recall.

The consumer instruction is narrower than the headline category of Salmonella usually suggests: identify the exact package, stop using it if it matches, and follow the company's refund or disposal guidance rather than turning the entire freezer into evidence.
