A popular frozen pizza snack sold at major retailers nationwide, including in Texas, has been recalled due to concerns it may contain metal fragments, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA says approximately 160,200 pounds of Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers have been recalled after the manufacturer, Rich Products Corp., identified the potential for foreign material contamination — specifically metal pieces.

The recall was voluntarily initiated by the company on May 19, 2026, and later classified by the FDA as a Class II recall, meaning exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.

While specific store locations were not listed in the FDA notice, the product is commonly sold in major grocery chains.

Health officials are urging consumers not to eat the affected product. Instead, they should:

• Check their freezer for Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers
• Look for matching lot or packaging information (as listed in the FDA recall notice)
• Dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund

Food safety experts warn that consuming metal fragments can potentially lead to:

• Dental damage
• Mouth or throat injury
• Internal lacerations if swallowed

No injuries have been publicly reported in connection with the recall as of now.

Rich Products Corp. has not reported widespread illness linked to the product but issued the recall out of an abundance of caution after identifying the potential contamination risk.

The FDA continues to monitor the recall and advises consumers to stay updated through its official recall database.

Texas shoppers who recently purchased frozen Farm Rich pizza snacks should check their freezers and follow recall instructions to avoid possible injury.
