What Is Being Recalled?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert (PHA-04302026-01) on April 30, 2026 for a group of frozen pizzas and snack products — sold under Walmart's Great Value and Aldi's Mama Cozzi's store brands, among others — that may contain a dairy ingredient contaminated with Salmonella. FSIS did not request a formal recall because the affected products are no longer available for purchase; instead it issued the alert so consumers can check their freezers.The concern traces to a recalled ingredient: California Dairies, Inc. recalled bulk dry milk powder after Salmonella was found in routine product testing, and that powder was used to make these items. Importantly, this is a precautionary alert — the products "may contain" the affected ingredient. There is no finding that the finished pizzas themselves tested positive, and as of the alert, there were no confirmed reports of illness from these products.
Which Products Are Covered?
The affected products were produced at establishment EST. 1321 and include, among others:• Walmart — Great Value: Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza (23.1 oz) and Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza (17.55 oz)
• Aldi — Mama Cozzi's: Biscuit Crust Pork Belly/Bacon breakfast pizza (17.15 oz) and Biscuit Crust Sausage & Cheese breakfast pizza (18.5 oz)
• Pork King Good Sour Cream & Onion pork rinds (1.75 oz and 7 oz)
• Added May 15: Culinary Circle Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch (16.4 oz), plus Henry's Homestyle Taco Pizza and Kowalski's Artisan Taco pizza (Minnesota only)
Because exact best-by dates and pack sizes vary by item, check your product against the official FSIS product list (linked in Sources) before deciding. If a product matches, do not eat it.
What Should You Do?
Do not eat the affected products, even if you cook them thoroughly. Throw them away, or return them to the store where you bought them for a refund. Because this is a public health alert rather than a formal recall — and the products are no longer on shelves — there is no online claim form, registration, or remedy portal to use; it is discard-or-return only. No receipt requirement is stated in the USDA alert.Salmonella infection can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, and can be more serious for young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Is There a Lawsuit or Settlement?
No. This is a USDA public health alert, not a lawsuit or settlement. With no reported illnesses, there is no litigation, no settlement fund, and no claim form. The action available to consumers is simply to discard or return the affected products.This page is informational and is not legal or medical advice.
