The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting metal was found in the pizza.

"There have been no confirmed reports of injuries or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," FSIS said.

Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider, according to FSIS.

FSIS said it is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers or found at distributor and retail locations. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. 

Additionally, distributors and retailers are urged not to sell these products. 

"These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase," said FSIS.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Nick Perrino, COO of Home Run Inn Frozen Foods, at 630-783-9696, ext. 2151.
