McCain brand frozen pizzas found at Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, IGA and Drakes urgently recalled after worrying discovery

Some of Australia’s most popular pizzas are being recalled from supermarkets across the country after metal was found in them.

The popular frozen pizza brand McCain is sold at Woolworths and independent retailers, including IGA, across Australia.

They are also sold at Coles and Aldi in NSW, ACT, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia, and Drakes in Queensland and SA.

Food Standards Australia and New Zealand have issued a warning about the recall, warning consumers not to eat the pizzas.

The affected pizzas are McCain Ham & Pineapple Family Pizza 500g, with a best before date of APR 2025 097, and McCain BBQ Chicken & Pineapple Family Pizza 500g, with a best before date of APR 2025 097 and APR 2025 098.

“Food products containing metal may cause illness/injury when consumed,” the recall notice said.

‘Consumers are not allowed to eat these products. Consumers must return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.

‘All consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.’

The latest food recall comes two weeks after a Primo Foods recall of salami sold at Coles, IGA and Woolworths due to the presence of an undeclared allergen.

In April, Frisp Oats Peanut Butter 150g was recalled from all Woolworths stores nationally after it was discovered that there was no warning on the packaging that the product contained a milk allergen.

And in March, consumers who had recently purchased dumplings and egg rolls sold at Asian supermarkets in several states were urged to check whether they had been recalled due to allergy concerns.
