A frozen pizza product has been recalled in Buffalo due to the possibility of metal pieces being present in the product. The recall affects Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers, which were recalled on May 19, but were recently raised to a Class II classification by the FDA. According to the FDA, the recall was initiated due to the possibility of metal pieces being present in the product.
"We take the safety of our products very seriously, and we are working to ensure that all affected products are removed from store shelves," said a spokesperson for Farm Rich.
The recall affects 21 states, including New York, where Buffalo is located. On Hertel Avenue, many residents were seen checking their freezers to see if they had any of the affected products. The recall also affected local businesses, who sell the Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers. Williamsville parents, who pack lunches for their children, were among those affected by the recall.
As the news of the recall spread, many residents were seen calling their local grocery stores to ask if they carried the affected products. The Buffalo community will be watching to see how Farm Rich responds to the recall and works to prevent similar incidents in the future. A meeting is scheduled for next week to discuss the recall and its impact on the Buffalo community.
The recall may have a lasting impact on how Buffalo residents purchase frozen pizza products, with some considering alternative brands.
