A public health warning has been issued for select Mama Cozi’s breakfast pizzas that may be contaminated with salmonella.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on April 30 for two types of Mama Cozzi’s breakfast pizzas because the products may contain dairy ingredients contaminated with salmonella. FSIS expects more products to be added to the alert.
The problem was discovered when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered that several FSIS-regulated establishments had received dry milk powder that had been recalled, following a public health warning.
As of April 30, no adverse reactions from consuming pizza for breakfast had been reported.

What are the symptoms of Salmonella?
Consuming food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever.
Salmonellosis can occur within six hours to six days of consumption and can last for four to seven days. Most people recover without treatment, but older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe disease.
