ORLANDO, Fla. – There’s a major recall going on in Florida after several products were found with “metal fragments,” according to USA Today.
The recall is focused on several ready-to-eat pizza and bread products sold in 10 states, including the Sunshine State.
A recall notice from the FDA shows that food manufacturer Bakkavor initiated a voluntary recall back in January, though the federal agency kicked that up to a Class II designation, intended for situations where exposure could cause “medically reversible adverse health consequences.”

Per USA Today, the recall involves slow-roasted tomatoes used in the products, which FDA officials said had been found to possibly contain “metal fragments.”
FDA officials said that over 25,000 cases had been impacted by the recall, including some sold by HelloFresh, Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter and Meijer.
